S 1469 amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to require that existing training programs for school food service workers include instruction on food allergies, covering prevention, recognizing reaction symptoms, and proper response. It also updates certification rules so this training component is checked when programs are reviewed or approved.
School food service workers, including cafeteria staff, would receive this added training content. Students with food allergies, their families, school districts, and state agencies administering school meal programs are also involved.
The change would standardize allergy-related training across schools rather than leaving it to individual districts, affecting how training programs are designed, reviewed, and certified.
