What is Judson ISD's nutrition department?
Judson ISD Child Nutrition Department menus are planned by a registered dietitian with a goal of providing a variety of nourishing student friendly menu items at an affordable price. Menu items offered are based on student input through the Student Nutrition Advisory Committee (SNAC). The SNAC committee is composed of 20-30 students from each grade level, all around the district. The committee members meet with the registered dietitian twice a year to provide their opinions and requests on current and future menus.
What is a child nutrition registered dietitian?
The Child Nutrition Registered Dietitian has access to educational resources and is trained in nutrition, food labeling and food production. The nutritional and allergen information that we display is provided by food manufacturers and other third parties. The Registered Dietitian’s role is to communicate with the school staff, cafeteria staff and parents what allergens exist on the school menus as well as diet modifications for specific documented needs. Nutritional analysis of food items and common allergy information can be found at www.judsonisd.nutrislice.com
