About Seasonal Menus
When the MealSuite Nutrition Services team publishes a new seasonal menu (i.e., Spring Summer Menu and the Fall Winter Menu) in the system, they also unpublish the previous seasonal menu of the same season.
Because the Nutrition Services team is continually updating the data in the system, previous versions of seasonal menus may not meet current diet or extension standards, and hence only the newest seasonal menu is published in the system.
When is a MealSuite Seasonal Menu released?
A seasonal menu for the MealSuite system is a 4-week cycle menu that is published twice per year: once for the Spring/Summer season and again for the Fall/Winter season.
- The Spring/Summer menu is released in mid to late February (four to six weeks prior to the start of the spring/summer season).
- The Fall/Winter menu is released in mid to late August (four to six weeks prior to the start of the fall/winter season).
The seasonal menu is available as a menu template is ready to use as published, or may be customized to suit individual facility and regional preferences.
