"It is important to note that when using a share table, CNP operators are able to claim the reimbursable meal at the point of service even if a child then puts one or more of the meal components on the share table. When food items are left on the share table at the end of the meal service, that food can be used in later meals that are claimed for reimbursement."
LPS Green Teams have been proud to collaborate with Whitsons Food Service that provides our school lunches and breakfasts in multiple initiatives:
Transitioning from styrofoam trays to compostable trays and lunch boats (2015)
Compostable utensils
Food rescue and share tables
Transitioning from single-use disposable food ware to re-use food ware (2024-2025)
