2013 K-12 Census: School districts struggle with elements of new meal regs

For this year’s K-12 Census, we decided to take a broader look at what’s going on in the child nutrition industry. Instead of focusing primarily on financial data, as has been done in the past, we delved deeper into the biggest challenge facing school foodservice: the USDA’s new meal pattern.

The majority of hospitals say they expect to pay more in food costs in 2012.

Retail sales amont the hospitals in the census rose, to an average of $1.98 million, from $1.89 million. Raw food cost also shot up in 2007, rising to $6.39 from $5.47.

Cafeteria and catering business continue to make up the bulk of foodservice for hospitals in our census, with only 48% of meals served being delivered to patients.

Non-patient meals now account for a larger portion of hospitals' foodservice programs than patient feeding.
