Since the last study in the series in 2009, school food acquisition has been impacted by program changes, such as the updated nutrition standards in 2012 to align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This fourth study in the series will provide insight into the changes since the 2009 study.
