The beloved Georgia Peanut packs were recently increased in size from ¾ oz. to 1 oz.! The Georgia Peanut Commission hopes this helps meet the meal pattern requirement for school nutrition programs, in addition to providing a local food to school option for districts to consider. As it stands, Williams Food Group is the only distributor offering this product; however, other distributors are willing to offer it if they receive interest from school districts.
The new 1 oz. size will also make a great option for breakfast and our new GSNA culinary contest category – After School Snack!
School nutrition personnel can order directly from the Georgia Peanut Commission to try the packs and see if it’s a good fit for their program. If it is, districts should place it on the bid sheet with their distributor and express interest so the distributor will pick it up.
