March 1, 2022 - Effective July 1, 2022, low-fat flavored milk will once again be allowed for CACFP participants 6 and over (including adult participants at adult day care).

On February 7, 2022, USDA published a Final Rule that, effective July 1, 2022, re-establishes CACFP meal pattern flexibilities that were vacated in April of 2020. Specifically, low-fat flavored milk will once again be allowed for CACFP participants 6 and over (including adult participants at adult day care). TDA is in the process of updating these requirements in the CACFP handbooks.
