(NAFB) – Impossible Foods recently secured Child Nutrition Labels, clearing a path towards entering the K-12 market this fall.
Child Nutrition Labels are voluntary food crediting statements authorized by the Department of Agriculture. The labels make it easier for schools participating in federal Child Nutrition Programs to determine how much a particular food contributes to federal meal pattern requirements for nutritionally balanced meals for children each school day.
With the Child Nutrition labels secured, Impossible Foods is kicking off K-12 pilot programs this month with school districts across the United States. Participating schools are using the product in dishes ranging from Impossible Street Tacos to Impossible Frito Pie, to Spaghetti with Impossible Meat Sauce. School district pilot participants also surveyed kids after using the Impossible items to gauge their interests.

The FDA says restaurants that fall under current labeling rules already list the information online.
DoorDash says restaurants can add the information to menus in the app.
Scientists and consumers groups sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking it to require that third-party online ordering services provide nutritional information.
The letter, addressed to FDA director Dr. Susan Mayne, asks the agency to extend existing rules on labeling to platforms like DoorDash, Seamless, and Uber Eats . Guidance should make clear that both chain restaurants and TPPs (third-party platforms) are responsible for complying with the nutrition labeling requirements, the letter says.

Apple s Tim Cook and Facebook s Mark Zuckerberg square off with increasingly sharp words in the latest tech sector catfight, but it s a tussle that has wider implications around privacy, both personal and corporate.

An inter-connected eco-system of companies and data brokers, of purveyors of Fake News and pedlars of division, of trackers and hucksters just looking to make a quick buck, is more present in our lives than it has ever been.
Who on Earth can Apple CEO Tim Cook be talking about? While never actually resorting to using the F-word directly, most of the audience listening to Cook’s impassioned address to the Computers, Privacy & Data Protection Conference last Friday would have been left in little doubt that it was a certain social media platform that was front and center as the target of his ire.
