ByHeart has issued a voluntary recall of five batches of their ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula due to the potential for cross-contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii. There have been no consumer complaints received and no product has tested positive for the bacteria.
The product being recalled is ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, Milk Based Powder with Iron for 0-12 Months in 24 oz containers. The formula under voluntary recall was distributed directly to consumers in the U.S. and can be identified by the number on the bottom of the can. Recalled product batches are 22273 C1, 22276 C1, 22277 C1, 22278 C1, and 22280 C1 printed with use by 01 JAN 24 or 01JUL 24.
If you have ByHeart products, check the bottom of the can and dispose of product from batches 22273 C1, 22276 C1, 22277 C1, 22278 C1, and 22280 C1.
For more information, check out the FDA page on the recall or follow the instructions provided by ByHeart in their letter to consumers.
On January 3, 2023, ODE CNP sent out a memo to all Oregon CACFP At-Risk Afterschool Meal Program Sponsors with a reminder of programmatic requirements. At-Risk Sponsors are encouraged to review the memo and ensure that all requirements are being met. Sponsors who are found to be in non-compliance may be issued findings and corrective actions that may result in the disallowance of meals.
If you have any questions about this memo, please contact your assigned Child Nutrition Specialist.
Last Fall Oregon CACFP Sponsors provided ODE CNP with feedback on topics, timing, and format for CACFP annual trainings. We have been diligently reviewing your comments and have created a simplified plan for training this year.
Due to Sponsor request, trainings will be available online as three recorded videos and ODE CNP will be providing a wider timeline for Sponsors to complete the training. We recognize that many Sponsors are short staffed this year and do not have the ability to attend in-person trainings. This training will be required for the Food Program Coordinator only, but will be recommended for all Authorized Representatives.
ODE CNP will also be at the Oregon School Nutrition Association's Conference on March 10, 2023 to provide School Food Authority (SFA)-specific trainings in-person. This in-person training can be taken in lieu of one online training for SFAs only.
More details will be coming soon in February 2023!
CACFP Sponsors can choose between receiving USDA Foods or cash-in-lieu for the FY 2023-2024. The fiscal year starts on July 1, 2023 and ends June 30, 2024.
For more information on USDA Foods, check out the memo: Choice of USDA Foods (commodities) or cash-in-lieu Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024
Sponsors who wish to elect USDA Foods for FY 2023-24 (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024) must indicate on line 135 of the CNPweb Sponsor Information Sheet in FY 2023 by January 13, 2023. Sponsors should notify their assigned specialist to approve the change.
Sponsors who wish to continue with cash-in-lieu for CACFP do not need to take any action.
Sponsors who already chose USDA Foods and are planning for the upcoming fiscal year should review the USDA Foods Ordering Schedule for School Year 2023-2024 Memo for more information on order deadlines and available webinars.
