Support the Know What's on the Tray Act to require schools in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs to post menu-item information online at least seven days before meals are served.

The Know What’s on the Tray Act would require schools in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program to post information about every menu item on their school or district website at least seven days before the meal is served. The information would include its ingredients, the manufacturer or producer, where it was made and whether it was locally sourced or produced on a family farm.

Buchanan backed and cosponsored the Know What's on the Tray Act, which would require advance online disclosure of school meal ingredients, producers, origins, and local or family-farm sourcing.
