SCHOOL HAS STARTED AND AUTUMN IS HERE!

LABEL FOLDER FOCUS—Record Keeping Reminder
 In the Annual Training Webinar 2022 you were reminded of the Record Keeping focus we will be using this year in reviews. We want to focus on using a Binder (any easily accessible storage) to keep the items that CACFP need documented. This includes:
Actual Food product labels with ingredient statements
Cereal – showing sugar content    ::  Yogurt – showing sugar content
Whole Grain Rich – showing 50% min in bread group items (keep recipes on file)
CN labels on processed meat/meat alternate items
Tofu – showing the amount of protein
Standardized Recipes
Write down the recipes you use, keep them on file to review. Include in recipe notes the creditable food, the amounts, and how many portion sizes the recipe serves for different age groups.
Child Nutrition (CN) Labels from the packaging of food items
Product Formulation Statement (PFS) or other manufacturer documentation
These documentation records must be kept in a file on site and available for review during a site-visit. Labels should include: Name of product; Nutrition Fact Label; Ingredient List; CN Label (if required)
FILE IDEAS:
Electronic: take pictures of labels stored in a device and easily accessible (create a folder for them)
Notebook: Cut out or keep whole label, or take picture and print it – keep all in a notebook/binder
Ziploc: Save labels stored in Ziploc bags all in an easily accessible box/binder etc.
