How it Works
Step 1: Meals Produced by Chef and his Staff

SchoolFuel™ Meals are prepared in our modern, continuously USDA-inspected production kitchen.
- Meals are made with fresh, local (when possible) ingredients picked at the peak of ripeness and highest nutritional content.
- Meals are prepared under constant USDA and food scientist supervision using HACCP and GMP processes.
- Food samples and equipment are tested and analyzed during production to ensure the absence of pathogens.
- Facility and process is inspected by USDA, FDA, and state and local authorities.
Step 2: Freezing Ensures Safety and Great Taste

Pre-plated (and portion-controlled) meals are flash-frozen in a spiral freezer.
- Meals are maintained in cold storage at -10°F until delivery.
- Safe handling is ensured and cold-chain remains unbroken throughout process.
- Freezing preserves nutritional content at peak levels.
Step 3: Delivery

Meals are delivered weekly by specially designed freezer trucks.
- Storage freezers can be provided by GA Foods, if needed.
- Cold chain is never broken to ensure food safety.
Additional side components, such as dairy, bread, fruit & dessert, will be delivered on a regular schedule.
Step 4: School Staff Heats Meals for Breakfast or Lunch

Each day, the school’s staff will heat pre-plated meals for students.
- Ovens can be provided by GA Foods, if needed.
- School staff will be trained on safe food handling practices by GA Foods.
Step 5: Meals Enjoyed by Students

- Hot meals would be consumed by students fresh from the oven.
- Students can be offered a choice of meals at meal time.
- Meals are ensured to be safely handled through the entire process.
