In a recent development, the former head of food services for New York City public schools, Eric Goldstein, has been sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement in a bribery scandal that compromised the quality of food served to children.
Goldstein, along with three individuals associated with a vendor contracted to provide school food, was found guilty of bribery, conspiracy, and other charges following a trial in 2023. The vendor, SOMMA Food Group, had been supplying food to the city's schools.
