This memorandum addresses questions we have received about the provisions of the CAA that affect the Nutrition Assistance Programs in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico.
The purpose of this memorandum is to assist Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) state agencies in determining applicable health and safety standards for outside-school-hours care centers (OSHCC) and at-risk afterschool care centers and documenting compliance with those standards, if applicable.
This memorandum satisfies GAO’s recommendations for the Food and Nutrition Administration to issue more specific guidance to states and school districts regarding the applicability of the food safety inspections requirement in schools that do not prepare food, such as those that only serve pre-packaged meals or meals delivered from a central preparation location (referred to in this memorandum as service-only sites).
This document clarifies SA’s oversight responsibilities for food safety inspections under the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program.
