  1. Child Nutrition (CN) Labels and Crediting Foods

  2. Child Nutrition (CN) Label • The CN label states a product's contribution toward the CACFP meal pattern requirements. • When products are combinations of ingredients such as chicken nuggets, corn dogs or pizza purchased, there is no way to disassemble the product and weigh and measure the ingredients to determine the amount of M/MA, F/V and/or G/B that may be credited. • CN labels provide this necessary crediting information.

  3. Product Analysis Sheet • A combination food may also be credited when a product analysis sheet is on file. • It must include a statement of the amount of cooked lean meat/meat alternate, bread/bread alternate and/or fruit/vegetable components in each serving of the food. • This sheet must be signed by an official of the manufacturer (not a salesperson).

  4. Five .88oz breaded fully cooked chicken nuggets (2.43 oz Total) provide 2.00 oz equivalent meat/meat alternate and 1.00 serving bread alternate for Child Nutrition Meal Pattern Requirements. 5 nuggets/serv x 51 serv/bag = 255 nuggets/bag

  5. This 4 oz Corn Dog provides 2.0 oz equivalent meat and 2 servings bread alternate for Child Nutrition Meal Pattern Requirements. 1 corn dog/serv X 48 serv/bag = 48 corn dogs/bag
