Production Records Used to ensure that enough food will be prepared to meet the minimum portion size requirements Used to determine what and how much food to order and purchase Will serve as reference for staff who may substitute in the kitchen for meal preparation Used to account for quantities prepared that demonstrate compliance with the meal pattern requirements

Production Records Estimate how many children (by age group) and adults usually eat at each meal. These numbers are used to calculate how much of each meal component is needed Use your menu to write in each component that will be served for the meal

Child Nutrition (CN) Label The CN label states a product's contribution toward the CACFP meal pattern requirements. When products are combinations of ingredients such as chicken nuggets, fish sticks or pizza purchased, there is no way to disassemble the product and weigh and measure the ingredients to determine the amount of M/MA, F/V and/or G/B that may be credited. CN labels provide this necessary crediting information.

Gorton’s 115 Crunchy Fish Sticks Three Fried Breaded Fish Sticks (0.54 oz each) provide 0.50 oz equivalent Meat and 0.50 serving of Bread alternate for Child Nutrition Meal Pattern Requirements. (Use of this logo and statement authorized by the Food and Nutrition Service, USDA 11-05).

Product Analysis Sheet A combination food may also be credited when a product analysis sheet is on file. It must include a statement of the amount of cooked lean meat/meat alternate, bread/bread alternate and/or fruit/vegetable components in each serving of the food. This sheet must be signed by an official of the manufacturer (not a salesperson).

Non-Creditable Food Items Reminders: Imitation Cheese or Cheese Product: Any item labeled with the wording “imitation” cheese or cheese “product” does not meet the requirements for use in food-based menu planning approaches and is NOT creditable towards meal pattern requirements. Velveeta: is considered a cheese product. It no longer abides by the standard of identity for processed cheese; therefore, it no longer counts as a meat/meat alternate item. Cheese Sauce: Cheese sauce also needs a CN label or product analysis sheet in order to be credited toward the CACFP meal pattern.
