Our Commitment to Excellence

The San Gabriel Unified Nutrition Services team is committed to providing meals that are as nutritious as they are delicious. We take pride in exceeding federal standards to ensure our students receive the very best.

 

Every meal we serve features:

  • Whole Grain-Rich Items: 100% of our grains are whole grain-rich to provide sustained energy.

  • Farm to School: We prioritize local, fresh, and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

  • Healthy Dairy: We offer a variety of low-fat and fat-free milk options daily.

  • Nutrition Standard: All meals strictly adhere to the USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program guidelines.

 

💡 Nutrition Tip: Eat the Rainbow!

Did you know that the different colors in fruits and vegetables represent different nutrients?

  • Red fruits and veggies (like strawberries and bell peppers) are great for heart health.

  • Greens (like spinach and broccoli) help strengthen bones and teeth.

  • Orange/Yellow (like carrots and oranges) support healthy eyes and a strong immune system.

At SGUSD, we provide a vibrant variety of fresh produce every day. Encourage your student to eat the rainbow from our selection this week
