AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Know What’s on the Tray Act of 2026," amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require schools participating in the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program to publicly share detailed information about the food they serve. Specifically, schools must post on their website, at least seven days before serving, the name of each menu item or food, a list of all its ingredients, its manufacturer or producer, where it was made, and whether it is locally sourced or produced on a family farm. If any of this information changes, schools must update it promptly. The Secretary of Agriculture has 180 days to issue rules to help schools comply, and these new requirements will take effect at the start of the school year that begins at least 18 months after the bill is enacted.
