Tag: Creditable foods

Under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), all grains served must be enriched, whole grain, or whole grain-rich. This means that not all corn chips can be served in a reimbursable meal or snack, as they must meet specific USDA requirements regarding their ingredients to be considered creditable.

According to the USDA, at least one serving of grains per day in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) must be whole grain-rich. Identifying whole grain-rich (WGR) foods requires careful examination of product labels and ingredients, as terms like "multigrain" can be misleading.
