National School Lunch Program awarded by Department of Agriculture

What the 10.555–USDA join is

CFDA 10.555 and the Department of Agriculture (agency 012) meet in one program-agency cell. $157,256,775,892.61 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not an outlay register and not a meal-count log and not a school census. This packet does not split $157,256,775,892.61 among reimbursable meals or name school districts.

A large lunch-program cell invites a meals-served story. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation with news headlines is not causation. The join is a CFDA code plus an awarding agency, not a ranking of programs as winners or losers.

Those parents are not addends to $157,256,775,892.61.
