Legislation introduced to ensure American-made food is served in schools

Legislation has been introduced to require school districts to purchase domestically sourced food for in-school meals.

Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, introduced the Senate version of the American Food for American Schools Act with Senator Mike Braun, a Republican from Indiana.

“I want to see us feed people better in the schools than we do. I want to work with local school districts to help them in buying these (local food items),” Brown says.
