RSVP Today for Spring Taste Tests
We here at CKC Good Food get a lot of questions about our menu items: How do you choose the foods you serve? How nutritious are the meals? Why don't you serve [NAME THAT ITEM]? How many grams of carbs, fat, protein, sodium, etc. are in your meals? What allergens are in your meals?
If you've ever had these questions yourself or been asked these questions by those you serve, family members or board members, we encourage you to assemble a group to come to our commissary for our spring taste tests!
We invite schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program to bring a group for a visit between March 6 and May 23.
(Private schools: watch for a special invitation specific to your programs soon.)
Event Details:
- Group size: 12-24 people
- Ages: grades 4 and above
- Time: 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
- Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
- Please only one group per school to allow more schools to participate
The day will entail:
- A 20-30 minute tour of our production facility, where guests can see how our team prepares thousands of meals every day.
- A review of the USDA nutritional guidelines for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.
- Sampling of School Breakfast Program items.
- A discussion of guests' favorite and least favorite meals on your school's current lunch menu.
- Taste testing of new lunch recipes. There will be at least three main entrées as well as a vegetable, fruit, dessert and bottled water - enough for a full lunch.
- A short survey on school meals and the sample entrees.
- Additional Q&A time.
Tips for a successful educational tasting:
- Gather a group of eaters, family members, board members and staff who have shared ideas or wishes related to your food service.
- Provide your group with the educational information we will send you ahead of your visit.
- Ask those who will be attending to circle their 3 favorite and 3 least favorite meals on your current menu.
- Among your group, choose one main entrée you suggest be added to your menu.
