Braun introduces American Food for American Schools Act

Senator Mike Braun of Indiana and Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio introduced the American Food for American Schools Act, a bill to make sure American-made food is being served in school lunches, first introduced in the House by Congressman John Garamendi and Congressman Doug LaMalfa.

“Our school lunch programs should be supporting American agriculture rather than importing food; it’s safer, healthier and supports our economy rather than China’s. I took the lead with Senator Brown to introduce the American Food for American Schools Act in the Senate because American kids should be eating Americangrown food in our schools,” said Braun.

“The food our kids get at school should be American-produced food, that supports American jobs in our communities,” said Brown. “There’s no reason for schools to buy food products from overseas, when they could get fresh fruits and vegetables from Ohio farmers, and when union bakers and confectioners and other workers make bread and snacks and canned foods here in Ohio. Our bill would require schools to buy American products for all in-school meals, and ensure American tax dollars support American jobs.”
