USDA's Team Nutrition recently released new resources!
These 'Providing Multiple Meals at a Time for Children During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic' tip sheets provide information about using bulk foods and distributing multiple meals at a time.
Earlier this spring, USDA released the Crediting Handbook for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). This update reflects CACFP meal pattern requirements which became effective October 2017.
Review the Updated CACFP Handbook here!
The updated meal pattern promotes the development of good eating habits through nutrition education. Additionally, this handbook is a supplementary resource to the Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs and contains additional information on creditable foods served in child and adult care centers, which may be located in a variety of settings.
This guidance focuses on practices for children and youth activities that lower the risk for spreading COVID-19. The goal is to reduce the risk of virus transmission between children, youth, and staff; businesses, non-profits, cities, counties, and other entities should use this guidance for all programs serving groups of children and youth from multiple households.
View the full guide here.
This guide includes:
- General Information
- Drop off and pick up guidance
- Ways to reduce transmission
- What to do if someone develops signs of COVID-19
- Cleaning and disinfecting procedures
