Food Services
The Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional High School District contracted with the Pomptonian Food Service company to provide nutritious food to students and staff. Pomptonian is focused on offering a high quality and nutritious lunch service to the communities they serve. They continuously seek new services and menu items to keep the program fresh and innovative. Pomptonian’s trained staff freshly prepares the day’s meals each morning on premise in the school cafeteria. The production of the meals and service is overseen by ServSafe certified management to ensure that foods are prepared and served at the optimum serving temperatures to produce a fresh, hot, and delicious meal.
