CACFP CEs are required to account for costs that are necessary to run a non-profit food service accurately. The process includes maintaining documentation that demonstrates costs were paid, allowable, and comply with the program’s rules and regulations, inclusive of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS) Instruction 796-2, Rev.4. FNS Instruction 796-2, Rev 4 requires that all allowable expenses be approved by TDA (and in some cases the USDA) before being included in a budget and before the CE incurs the cost.
Classroom Training for CACFP, NSLP, SFSP, USDA Foods, and other topics is available at no cost at your local https://squaremeals.org/About/EducationServiceCenters.aspx.
