Pasco County Schools Food and Nutrition Services

Pasco County Schools Food & Nutrition services offers breakfast, lunch, summer feeding, and after-school snacks programs to Pasco County students.

FNS is one of the largest district departments with more than 600 full and part-time employees located at the District Office and within each of the schools. Each school kitchen has its own unique identity, but is still a part of the FNS team and follows the same menu, standards, policies and procedures. We are a self-funded department, using only federal funds, grants, and monies generated from t

he sale of school meals and catering to provide a nutritious, low cost school lunch and breakfast to Pasco County students. We operate much like a food service business with established annual goals and strategic plans. We pride ourselves on food safety, winning an award last year for our outstanding food safety training program. Each of our managers is nationally-certified in food safety, and all employees attend a 10-hour course in food safety and sanitation. To view your child's latest school food safety health inspection reports click here. We are organized with an administrative staff located at the District Office in Land O’ Lakes, and self-contained production kitchens in each school. Each elementary school has a staff that consists of one FNS manager and support staff. Secondary schools are staffed with one FNS manager, an FNS assistant manager and support staff. Support staff includes FNS assistants and production assistants. In the District Office, the administrative staff is organized into six areas including operations, financial support, nutrition/menu support, professional development/marketing support, school support and technology support. Together, the administrative staff helps develop healthy menus, establish meal standards, design new schools/remodels, review food service operations, run Pasco County shelters, develop marketing/promotional programs, establish professional development programs and assist with school-based technology support and training. Pasco County FNS offers breakfast, lunch, summer feeding, and after-school snacks programs to Pasco County students enrolled in public and charter schools, day cares, Headstart and Early Headstart programs, and infant feeding programs. We also offer an Adult Meal Program for administrators and their staff, and cater meals for school-based functions. We serve approximately 2.25 million student breakfasts and 6.2 million lunches annually.

So proud of our culinary students at Land O’ Lakes High School 👏

They recently took part in student taste testing for a nationwide competition featuring the top four recipes submitted by school districts across the country.

Students had the chance to taste test each finalist dish and provide their feedback, helping evaluate the creativity and flavor behind every recipe.

An awesome hands-on experience and a great way to get our students involved in the future of school meals!

Meet May's Seasonal Select, cauliflower.

The Zone is serving garlic roasted cauliflower across grade levels as a vegetable option and it is more than just a side. Cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants that support focus, energy and overall health.

Next time it is on the menu make sure your student grabs it!
