In FSUSD, some new fresh food added to the winter menu – The Reporter

Amid winter blues and the ongoing pandemic, Fairfield-Suisun Unified leaders have partnered with two area businesses to make sure students get some additional fresh, locally sourced food and, in the process, improved nutrition and health.

In December, the district’s Child Nutrition Department added Woodland-based Micaela’s California Fresh, which supplies authentic, freshly made tortillas and salsa for use in weekly food boxes students receive, Director of Child Nutrition Dan Mitchell said in a press release issued Thursday.

The tortillas and salsas are made fresh daily using locally sourced ingredients and no chemical preservatives, he noted in the statement, adding that the salsa has been popular with district families and will be included regularly on menus.
