Get the Waiver

Hello......

The pasta waiver is the USDA’s acknowledgement that the whole grain pasta product is unacceptable/unpopular to students.  If New Jersey follows through with implementing the ability to grant waivers on the other whole grain requirements, this would have more of an impact on the program than the Pasta Waiver alone.
