Congress to hold school meal hearing
A Congressional hearing on food safety in school meal programs is scheduled for April 30.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's subcommittee on oversight of govt. mgmt., is calling for the hearing, titled "Kids and Cafeterias: How Safe Are Federal
School Lunches?"
Its purpose is to "examine the adequacy of government oversight of the federal school lunch program, and how managerial and organizational deficiencies may be hurting the health of school children."
Durbin was quoted in the Chicago Tribune, which ran a series of articles last December on "unsafe practices" in the Chicago public school system's meal program, as saying: "We want to examine how we can improve the federal oversight of the food served to schoolchildren."
The hearing is scheduled for April 30 at 2:30 in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The House subcommittee on government efficiency will join Durbin's subcommittee in conducting the hearing.
