Considering recent milk supply chain issues due to packaging shortages, TDA is using the discretion provided by federal regulation to allow Program operators to serve and claim meals without fluid milk or with an alternate form of fluid milk during this temporary emergency period. To utilize the flexibility, Contracting Entities (CEs) affected by the recent shortage must submit the newly released Milk Flexibility for Emergency Conditions Notification Form as soon as possible.
Now Available: Offer versus Serve Materials in Spanish!
The Spanish versions of the Offer versus Serve (OVS) materials for school nutrition programs are now available online. The OVS materials include five posters and two tip sheets. These tools help students more quickly select reimbursable meals in the breakfast and lunch lines and provide guidance for school nutrition professionals for breakfast and lunch meal service. Access the Spanish-translated OVS materials here.
New Micro-Purchase Logs Now Available for CACFP and SFSP
TDA has revised the Micro-Purchase Log, previously designed specifically for NSLP CEs, so that CACFP and SFSP CEs can also use it to track informal micro-purchases throughout the Program Year. The form is available on each Program's Administration/Forms page within the Forms table.
