SuperKids — A School Foodservice Program
Parents want to know that their kids are eating great, nutritious foods at school. A growing number of America's school cafeterias feature a variety of foods made with Ultragrain.
In its new SuperKids Ultragrain Sampling Program, ConAgra Mills, the makers of Ultragrain, gives school districts the opportunity to sample more than 30 different products made with Ultragrain. Some of the manufacturers of these products are listed below. The program also provides important information about the benefits of whole grains. If you are a parent and would like your child's school to add these products to its menu, contact you school's foodservice director.

Taste tested
In 2005, tests with 350 first- to sixth- grade students in Hopkins, Minnesota showed that elementary students consumed pizza and other foods made with Ultragrain at the same level as the same products made with refined, white flour.

In 2007, more than 3,000 school districts will be offering Ultragrain products. That's more than 40-million servings of whole grains. The benefits of Ultragrain mean greater nutrition value in school foodservice programs across America.
