National Cheese Day

(1/20/12)

 

Know your cheese!   

 

Cheese product is NOT creditable on the CACFP.

Cheese food and cheese spread are creditable but take twice the amount of real cheese to equal an ounce of meat.  For instance, if you need 1 ounce of meat to fulfill the CACFP meat requirement, you will need to serve 2 ounces of cheese food or cheese spread.
