Revoking a prior order and directing the city to create revised food standards, including establishing a "Good Food Purchasing Program"

This executive order revokes a prior order, which created standards for meals served by city agencies, and directs the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy (MOFP) to create revised set of City Agency Food Standards “for all meals or food supplies that are purchased, prepared or served in agency programs or other relevant settings” by April 1, 2022, and at least every three years thereafter. It also directs the MOFP to establish a “Good Food Purchasing Program” and establishes that a goal for that program is to study and publish data on an annual basis that “provides transparency about how mayoral agencies’ procurements impact core values relating to local economies, environmental sustainability, valued workforce, animal welfare, and nutrition affecting the health of all New Yorkers.”
