The 2017 School Meal Innovation Lab™ created and evaluated 10 new school foodservice menu concepts with 900 K-12 students and compared their reactions with 1,020 adults.
In this unique dining study, Y-Pulse® (ypulse.org) worked with a team of chefs and dietitians to create restaurant quality menu concepts that meet school meal nutrition requirements. The study’s participants evaluated these menu concepts through photographs and menu descriptions but without the knowledge that these meals are often served in schools.
