"And Justice for All" Poster - Updated Guidance
USDA has confirmed that there is no release date scheduled for new "And Justice for All" (AFJA) Civil Rights posters. All operators should use the 2019 version. Operators that no longer have the 2019 version can print the original 2019 version from SquareMeals or a slightly updated version from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website. ACTION REQUIRED – Validation of all Unaffiliated CACFP At-Risk Sites
In efforts to ensure that all sponsors of unaffiliated CACFP At-Risk sites are providing the proper operational oversight over the management and administration of the food program at those sites, and to ensure that sponsors are properly procuring meal vendors and FSMCs at At-Risk locations, TDA is requiring all sponsors of unaffiliated At-Risk sites to complete a questionnaire/attestation form.
