Aramark Student Nutrition is updating its school menus for the 2026–2027 school year, building on a longstanding focus on quality, ingredient transparency, and regulatory readiness, while helping simplify compliance for school districts. "In 2025 alone, feedback from nearly 90,000 students and parents nationwide reinforced our direction in providing greater ingredient transparency, lower sugar and sodium, and school meals made from simple ingredients," said Brisbane Vaillancourt, President and CEO of Aramark Student Nutrition. "This research has allowed us to stay ahead of increasingly rigorous nutrition standards while remaining deeply connected to the needs and expectations of the school communities we serve."   As part of the update, Aramark Student Nutrition conducted a comprehensive ingredient review, removing products with commonly regulated additives and artificial dyes from menus in all schools participating in the National School Lunch Program.
