October 11, 2012—As schools prepare to showcase their
achievements and improvements in the lunchroom during National
School Lunch Week (October 15-19), the National Foundation for
Celiac Awareness (NFCA) is bringing attention to gluten-free
needs and how schools can meet them. Available online from NFCA
are resources that may be useful to school nutrition operations,
including a tip sheet titled “8 Great Ways to Recognize Gluten-
Free Needs During National School Lunch Week.” To help school
nutrition professionals meet gluten-free needs throughout the
school year, NFCA also offers an online gluten-free training
program for school nutrition professionals and a month-long meal
plan that schools can adopt for serving gluten-free students. To
