Does anyone know whether DOL uses Good Food Company for their catering?


I was wondering the same thing. My DD used to be at a govt. daycare, although not DOL, that used Good Food. Now she is at a center in Virginia that uses Jeffery's. Meatballs are on the menu for next Monday (for the PP who questioned giving meatballs to preschoolers).

A three year should be capable of eating a meatball. I'm wondering if maybe there was a bone in the meat? Regardless, so heartbreaking.


Blaming the child for choking to death. What a lovely person you must be.

actually meatballs are dense and pasty and the perfect size to get caught in a windpipe.

I don't think the issue is necessarily the meatballs. I choke on my food every once in a while too. Kids just aren't good at choking and clearing their airways and sometimes eat too fast. Tragic!

Oh no. That is terrible. DOL does all the food. My guess is that meatballs can be too dense and create a choking hazard.

Was it definitely provided by the daycare? I always sent food at my daycare. We do send meatballs (vegetarian ones) with my preschooler, though we usually cut them up.
