National School Lunch Program

Nutrition One is an Arizona based National School Lunch Program Caterer.  Through our customized menus, we provide nutritious, kid-approved meals that meet USDA and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) guidelines. From balanced meals to engaging cafeteria experiences, we partner with schools to create a  environment that supports students’ growth and learning.

Understanding the National School Lunch Program

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally funded meal program that provides nutritious, low-cost, or free lunches to eligible students across the country. The program is administered by the USDA and is designed to ensure that students have access to balanced, healthy meals throughout the school year.

By participating in the NSLP, schools receive federal reimbursements for the meals they provide, making it a cost-effective solution to ensure every student is nourished and ready to succeed. Nutrition One helps schools meet the USDA’s stringent nutritional guidelines while offering menus that students enjoy.
