The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Distribution or “Commodity Foods” Program provides foods such as meats, vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy products to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. The USDA purchases these foods through direct appropriations from Congress, and under surplus removal and price support activities.
The USDA administers the program at the federal level. At the state level, the Food Distribution Program is administered by the School Nutrition Programs, Office of Public Instruction, which operates the program through agreements with local school districts.
School districts that participate in the National School Lunch Program are to incorporate the commodity foods received into the school lunch menu on a routine basis.
