Menus The food program is moving in a new direction. The

USDA and the state of Kentucky are reevaluating the CACFP and aligning with the Code of Federal Regulations and The Healthy, Hunger- Free Kids Act of 2010 .

CACFP’s main interest is to make certain the children are being fed good healthy food.

The accountability has shifted to accurate menus and receipts.

A Documented Menu Will Include:

SPECIFIC LANGUAGE is required on the menus. Fresh, frozen or canned.

Dated menus must be posted in the center for the parents and staff to see.

Menus must be planned and posted

each week. Cycle menus are recommended.

A Documented Menu Will Include:

A menu template is available on the CACFP website. You can download the template onto your computer so you can plan your menus.

Substitutions should be noted on the menu at the start of the day.

The menus will be required in your monthly folder in place of the menu and production records.

The infant menu and production will stay the same as it is currently. Infant menus will be placed in the monthly folder as well.

If extra food items are served, you may place them on the menu along with the required components.
