Welcome to the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Department of Food and Nutrition website. Our vision is to promote excellence in food and nutrition services as an integral part of education for all children, regardless of economic status, cultural diversity, or special needs. We are committed to this vision and are pleased to provide a variety of services to our customers.

As you can see by reviewing our breakfast and lunch menus, a variety of choices are offered daily. We aim for nutritious, well-balanced meals by following the United States Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In addition, breakfast is offered  each school day at no charge to all students in all Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Research links eating breakfast with improved cognitive function and a decreased incidence of obesity. Eating breakfast at school has the added benefit of ensuring students are in school, on time and ready to learn.

Healthy, nutritious eating habits promote high performance. We encourage all our students to choose school breakfast and school lunch daily in their school’s cafeteria.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact your school's food service manager or the Department of Food and Nutrition at
