What to Expect: This USDA-hosted webinar will review the recently passed final rule, which updates the NSLP meals patterns to more closely align with the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. While the majority of this regulatory change will impact the NSLP and SBP, there are some changes that will impact CACFP and SFSP operators as well. This webinar will specifically review the CACFP and SFSP impacts of this final rule.
