House bill would mandate food allergy training for school staff

Table of Contents
A bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. The legislation would require that personnel involved in school food programs receive specific training on identifying and responding to food allergies.
Why it matters: This is a specific operational requirement for schools that receive federal nutrition funding. If enacted, it would standardize how school staff handle allergic reactions, potentially reducing liability and improving safety protocols. It is a targeted change to existing program rules rather than a broad policy shift.
Who it affects
- School food service directors and managers
