USDA Buy American Provision – Frito-Lay Products

The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (“NSLA”) contains a “Buy American” provision (Section 12(n)) essentially requiring that school food authorities (“SFAs”) purchase domestically grown and processed food products. As clarified in a February 2012 USDA memorandum, the NSLA defines a “domestic” commodity or product as one that is produced and processed in the United States and substantially uses agricultural commodities that are also produced in the United States. USDA further relies on one of the reports accompanying the legislation to interpret the term “substantially,” as used above, to require that over 51% of the final processed product consists of agricultural commodities that were grown domestically.

The purpose of this letter is to provide a certification, made in good-faith, that the Frito-Lay K-12 Products listed on the following page were produced domestically and have at least 51% US content, and therefore qualify under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act’s Buy American provision for purchasing food and food products used in the Child Nutrition Program.

I verify the information is accurate.
