S 3240

This bill, the McSCUSE ME Act of 2025, aims to reform the USDA’s restaurant meals program under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. It expands the types of restaurants eligible to participate, focusing on retail food stores with prepared food sections like hot bars and delis that meet specific food safety standards. The bill also sets nutritional requirements for eligible meals, ensuring they include at least one fruit or vegetable and one protein source, and establishes a streamlined authorization process for participating retailers.
