Summary

Adds a new food-allergy training requirement to the Child Nutrition Act so local food service personnel must be trained on preventing, recognizing, and responding to food-related allergic reactions. The measure also updates nearby certification language to refer to the new training clause. The change is narrowly focused on training content and a cross-reference in certification language; it does not specify new funding or an effective date in the text provided.
