It is important to note that the standards apply ONLY to those items you sell a la carte. Your school breakfast and lunch items fall under the School Meals Initiative (SMI) standards. As always, your school meals are analyzed on a weekly basis, not per item. They ONLY part of the ANS that applies to school breakfast and lunch is that you cannot deep fry any of the products. ORDERS: Thank you to all members for submitting your orders to the ASPIN office as soon as you can. As you know, all of the schools are back and the earlier we receive your order, the better we can be sure you receive all of the product you need.
