Posting what makes a meal is an important part of any school food service operation in meeting USDA regulatory requirements.
Since new regulations began in 2012, Descon's successful Explain-A-Meal System has been a popular way to clearly and easily meet those requirements. Explain-A-Meal signs have EZ-Display Holders that keep your paper inserts in place with a magnetic seal, putting an end to sloppy, taped up signs.
