Sweet Changes Ahead: Preparing for CACFP’s New Sugar Rules

 

September 11th, 2025

Beginning October 1, 2025, the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) will implement new regulations requiring limits on added sugars in breakfast cereals and yogurts served in child and adult care settings. These updates are part of the Final Rule: Child Nutrition Programs—Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), which emphasizes limiting added sugars as a key component of healthy eating.

The transition from total sugar limits to added sugar limits represents a significant update to the CACFP meal pattern requirements. To comply with the new added sugar standards, CACFP Sponsors and operators will need to identify products that meet the required limits and thoughtfully incorporate them into existing menus, ensuring continued delivery of nutritious meals.
