USDA Foods Update
May 2021
USDA Foods SY 2021-2022
Thank you to all that filled out the 2022 annual survey! Unfortunately, I am unable to order all the foods listed on the Annual Survey due to lack of demand or not being able to arrange split load dates/quantities with other states. Overall it was a successful purchasing period.

I encourage you to order as close to your annual survey when possible. Use USDA Foods ordered sheet to help guide you when doing your monthly surveys. If I was not able to order food item it will be shaded in red. If there is an item that you put on your annual survey that I was not able to order please choose other food items. The best options would be food items that I over ordered on. Please reach out to me tkoster@nd.gov if you have any question on the USDA Foods ordered sheet.
USDA Processed Food Items SY 2021-2022
Product information sheets can be found on our Website
Time to Clean House
As the school year ends, it is the time to do some warehouse, pantry, freezer & refrigerator cleaning. Check the dates of all USDA foods to ensure that the food carried over the summer will not be outdated or expired by the time the school year begins. If there are foods nearing their best if used by dates, please donate the food to a local food pantry and/or non-profit agency. If you donate foods please keep records of foods donated and quantities.
