The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the recent regulatory changes, and to provide interim guidance for taking additional actions in advance of further regulatory amendments. 

This memorandum is to clarify the use of pasteurized juice in the child nutrition programs.

The purpose of this memorandum is to, once again, establish that regional offices may allow state agencies to count a USDA review of an SFSP sponsor as one of their required reviews, provided that the state agency assumes all responsibilities associated with resolution of the review findings relating to the administration of the program by the sponsor, including but not limited to any and all appeals arising from the review.

The Administrative Guidance for Sponsors advises sponsors to notify and obtain State agency approval of their plans to provide meal services on field trips in SFSP.

As a follow-up to our December 1994 advisory memo to the regions which stated that this issue would be addressed in more detail in the future, this memo changes the existing FSMC reporting requirements policy to allow exception reporting by all state agencies.
