4 Breakfast Menu Items
Methodology The Institute of Child Nutrition Applied Research Division conducted a Food Trends in K12 online survey in April 2024. The survey included responses from 1,691 school nutrition professionals (directors, managers, staff, chefs, and State agency professionals) from across all US states and territories. Participants were asked to identify foods, flavors, seasonings, sauces and condiments, and dining options currently popular and growing in popularity among students participating in School Nutrition Programs. Participants in this survey were permitted to select multiple items in each category, and the results were ranked according to the frequency of selections. This publication presents a list of breakfast and lunch menu items, flavors, seasonings, sauces, and dining cuisines, ordered according to their rankings. The food trends are organized in descending order, with the top-ranked trend listed first, followed by others in decreasing rank order. This information was derived from the Food Trends in K12: Rapid Response Online Survey Series research project conducted by the Institute of Child Nutrition Applied Research Division. This project was funded using U.S. Department of Agriculture grant funds. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. The University of Southern Mississippi IRB Protocol #22-1568.
