New federal guidelines will reduce added sugars and sodium in school meals across the United States. The new rule will be implemented in phases over the next few years to enhance the dietary quality of school-provided meals, supporting the well-being of children nationwide. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote healthier eating habits among students and address growing concerns about childhood obesity and health issues related to high sugar and salt intake.
