Salad Bars in Schools Expansion Act

The Salad Bars in Schools Expansion Act (HR 7344) creates a grant program to help schools participating in the National School Lunch Program install salad bars, prioritizing schools where at least 50% of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals or are located in food deserts. The program provides competitive grants covering installation costs (including equipment over $500), along with training, technical assistance, and nutrition education support. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture to report to Congress within one year on implementation progress and revise existing salad bar guidance based on findings. The bill uses existing funding without new appropriations and terminates the grant program after five years.
