On Jan. 14, 1999, we issued a policy memorandum “Reimbursement for Snacks in After School Care Programs (SP 99-4); (CACFP 99-4).” After issuing this policy memo, we received a number of questions regarding the implementation of this new meal service. In an effort to respond to those questions, we have enclosed the first set of questions and answers.
We are providing the information in this memorandum because we believe these two resources have potential for adding nutrition, value and variety to Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) meals.
This memorandum provides preliminary guidance to enable state agencies, schools and public and private nonprofit organizations to implement after school care programs for children in advance of publication of a final rule.
This notice announces the Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) intent to implement a demonstration project to test program changes designed to improve the state processing of donated foods by allowing the substitution of donated beef and pork supplied by the Department of Agriculture (the Department) with commercial beef and pork.
