Section 201 of the HHFKA established new school meals standards based on recommendations of the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board. Those standards took effect in July 2012, which include targets for sodium over the next several years. The purpose of this study is to examine from both the industry and school perspectives, challenges and successes in implementing the (HHFKA) sodium reduction policy.
