In response to several requests and to assist state agencies and school food authorities in their compliance efforts, we are providing the following prototype contract language requiring the return of purchase incentives to SFAs.
This memorandum is intended to provide clarification of what is allowable, for contracts executed both prior to and after publication of the final rule.
The Nutrient Content of the U.S. Food Supply, 2005, estimates on the availability and percentage contributions of nutrients by major food groups. The data and trends presented in this report are invaluable for monitoring the potential of the food supply to meet nutritional needs; for examining relationships between food supplies, diet, and health; and for examining dietary trends of Americans.
The purpose of this memorandum is to highlight the key provisions of the final rule and emphasize the responsibilities state agencies have in ensuring compliance with these provisions and with contract enforcement and oversight.
This session is intended to introduce students to a working knowledge of dietary fiber as defined by the Institute of Medicine and the data series used to report trends on how much nutrients and other food components are available for consumption, on a per person and per day basis.
