About the Eat Real program:

“Eat REAL was founded in 2012 by health advocates wanting to improve and bring transparency to our food system. Since then, our nonprofit has brought the certification model to over 500 partners nationwide. Today, we are 100% focused on bringing Eat REAL certification to our schools and raising awareness on the value of real food.

The Eat REAL Certified™ process is designed to support and recognize a school district’s journey to bring transparency to their food program. 

The Eat REAL evidence-based standards and the third-party assessment provide a map and tools for school food service directors and leadership to measure their practices in nutrition and sustainability, and understand how they can make improvements. 

Participating in our program is a powerful and clear way to demonstrate progress to students, parents, and communities..”
