New Resources:
Proposed CACFP Meal Pattern
On January 9, 2015, USDA released a proposed rule to update the CACFP meal pattern to better align it with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This proposal is the first major update of the CACFP meal pattern since the program's inception in 1968.
To help bring a diverse California voice to the comments USDA receives on the proposed CACFP meal pattern, CFPA has developed a package of resources to assist commenters. All resources can be found on CFPA's website and more tools will be added in the coming weeks.

Don't forget: USDA is requiring all comments on the proposed rule must be submitted by April 15, 2015.
