Bill overview
The American Food for American Schools Act of 2023 aims to increase the use of domestically produced food in school meal programs. It requires school food authorities to make information about waivers for the ‘Buy American’ rule publicly available and mandates that they prioritize purchasing domestic products whenever possible. The bill also establishes a system for tracking and reporting on foreign food purchases, ensuring transparency and accountability. Finally, it strengthens contract requirements to incentivize suppliers to comply with domestic sourcing rules and provides funding for training related to these requirements.
