School Nutrition Hearing: Dora Rivas

Dora Rivas, Executive Director of the Food and Child Nutrition Services for the Dallas Independent School District, testified at a March 4, 2008 U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and Labor hearing concerning school nutrition and the recent USDA recall of beef after investigations revealed that meat from non-ambulatory (or "downer") cows at a California slaughterhouse had been allowed to enter the food supply. More than a third of the tainted meat had gone to federal nutrition programs, including to schools.
