Buy American definition

Buy American means the Buy American provision as described in Section 12(n) of the National School Lunch Act which requires schools participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) to purchase, to the maximum extent practicable, domestic commodities and products. A domestic commodity or product means an agricultural commodity that is processed in the United States, and a food product that is processed in the United States substantially using agricultural commodities that are produced in the United States.

Any entity that purchases food or food products on behalf of the SFA must follow the same Buy American provisions that the SFA is required to follow.
