Sponsored By: Senator Sen. Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL]
Introduced
Summary
Adds food allergy education to training for local food service staff in federal child nutrition programs. The bill would require the Child Nutrition Act training modules to include best practices to prevent, recognize, and respond to food-related allergic reactions. It would also expand the certification check so trainings must be verified to include the new allergy content. *Would not authorize new federal funding and therefore would not change federal spending.*
