Updates to Nutrition Requirements in CACFP

 

April 25th, 2024

The USDA recently released a Final Rule to better aligns meal patterns in the CACFP, SFSP, and School Meals with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Changes that Impact CACFP include: 

  • Changing limits for breakfast cereals and yogurt from total sugars to added sugars.
  • Allowing vegetables to be substituted for grains in programs that primarily serve American Indian or Alaska Native children, as well as in Guam and Hawaii.
  • Allowing nuts and seeds to credit for the full meats/meat alternates component.

Hear from USDA Food and Nutrition Services on the updates to CACFP and SFSP meal patterns in their webinar on May 16th at 2 PM Eastern.
