Nutrition Education
Identifying Whole Grain-Rich

When serving grains, serving at least one whole grain-rich food each day is part of the #CACFP Meal Patterns. Need a quick refrigerator reminder on how to tell if a bread, pasta, cracker, or other grain product is whole grain-rich?


CACFP Week 2020

Children can join in the celebration during CACFP Week with activity sheets that combine fun, food program information, and nutrition themes. Share these with your providers, center staff, afterschool programs and parents!
