Schools in Illinois are required to provide a plant-based lunch upon prior request under Illinois bill 4089.
Due to the time it takes to order food and plan lunches, Quest needs four weeks advance notice. The student does not need to follow a plant-based diet to request a plant-based lunch. The student does not need to eat lunch at school every day to request plant-based meals. To request plant-based meals, fill out a plant-based request form and return it to foodservice@usd116.org
Definition of Plant-Based as intended by the law and will be followed by the school: Plant-Based means food
and/or beverages that come 100% from plant sources (vegan). Plant-Based food means no
meat/poultry/fish/seafood/milk/cheese/yogurt/sour cream/butter/margarine that contains dairy/ice cream/
dairy derivatives (casein, whey, lactose)/eggs/egg derivatives/honey/lard/gelatin.
