Lingering impacts of the pandemic are still on the menu in many school cafeterias.

“We’re still dealing with certain food item shortages,” said Fort Bend ISD Child Nutrition Executive Director Matt Antignolo.

He told us chicken products, in particular, remain challenging.

But shortages are not limited to what you can eat.

“Cutlery kits, styrofoam trays, what I would call traditional nacho boat food trays,” said Antignolo.  “We haven’t seen those in months or been able to get them.”

Klein ISD’s Food Services Division put out this message this week which told families that due to continued distributor and manufacturer shortages, some menu items would not be available at all campuses.
