Long Beach Unified School District uses the required food based menu planning system to plan all meals. Our menus include a healthy variety of fresh fruit, new and fresh vegetables, homemade entrees, and whole grains.
Offer versus Serve
Under the offer versus serve provision, schools must offer students a sufficient number and variety of food groups to meet established menu requirements. Although students may decline any item, at lunch they must choose a minimum of three food groups and a fruit or vegetable. As parents, you are encouraged to review menus with your students, in advance, to assist them in making choices from the menu items offered in the school cafeteria.

Diet Modifications for Religious or Personal Preferences, Including Vegetarian
The Nutrition Services Branch offers a variety of menu items daily through the District’s school cafeterias. The “offer versus serve” method of service allows students to make their food selections from the variety of foods offered. Menu items containing pork and meatless items are marked on the menu. This can assist parents in advising their child in making food selections in the cafeteria. Meatless options are available throughout the month. Yogurt and house-made granola is available daily. Other meatless options include vegan burgers, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, bean and cheese burrito, quesadilla, kickin' tenders, peanut butter and jelly sandwich (select sites), and more.
Field Trip Lunches
Field trip lunches are prepared by the Production Center staff and delivered to the school cafeteria, prior to the field trip. Field trip lunches must be picked up by a teacher from the cafeteria on the day of the field trip.
