Concerning Ingredients Found in Wayzata's Elementary Menus

One of our goals is to eliminate concerning ingredients in the food served by Wayzata Public Schools.  These include  trans fats and hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, hormones and antibiotics, processed and artificial sweeteners, artificial colors and flavors, artificial preservatives, and bleached flour.



When we began this group in Fall 2017, these ingredients were found throughout the menu on a daily basis.  Over the last two years, the food has improved somewhat in the elementary menus.  For example, it is now rare to find bleached flour, MSG, or high-fructose corn syrup.  However, these ingredients are found in the high school menu on a daily basis.  We'd like to highlight some of the remaining problematic menu items in the elementary schools.
