The Child Nutrition Programs are open to all eligible children and adults regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any USDA-related activity should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250.

Introduction

17

The United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service convened a task force to prepare this manual which is intended to assist Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) personnel in providing quality, nutritious meals which comply with CACFP meal pattern requirements. The task force was made up of local family day care providers, child care center directors, sponsoring organization directors and nutritionists, State Department of Education technical staff and USDA Food and Nutrition Service specialists.

This manual contains sections on nutrition, recipe modification, food labeling, feeding infants, food handling and sanitation, ethnic foods, recipe evaluation and crediting foods.

USDA commends all task force members for contributing their time and energy beyond regular duties to make this a successful guide. For additional information on or clarification of the topics covered in this manual, please contact your sponsoring organization or State agency.

We are interested in your response to this publication. After reading it, will you please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire on the last page?
