USFA Chicken Pilot
Launching!

The first-of-its kind Pilot is currently launching in participating school districts across the country to disrupt and change the current school food procurement system. The Pilot is diverting the costs in commercial chicken associated with research and development, marketing, and sales to provide better quality ingredients for students.

We aim to drive the marketplace in school food rather than continue to be subject to it, it is time to set our own standards for good food in our schools. We have worked hard with our partners, school districts, and most importantly, children to create quality products they like, are healthy, and meet USDA meal standards. The changes we make with chicken can lead the way for procurement and nutritional improvements in other popular school lunch products.

My high school is serving the spicy chicken patty every day.   The number of sandwiches served increases daily.  We believe the kids are enjoying the sandwich.

This chicken is better than what you usually serve. It is more moist and the breading is nice and crunchy.
