submission to state

Core Review ElementsMeal Counts

Attendance should not be used for meal counts

Meal count at point of service on separate sheet

Meals not reimbursed if meal count is not current

Avoid counting at end of meal – when children have left the table it’s too late!

Procedure to ensure non-reimbursable meals not claimed

Program adult meals counted (not claimed) Non-program meals counted (not claimed)

Who is paying for these meals since they are not USDA meals? Center reimburse CACFP account? Food costs not included in CACFP food costs? Many shelters compute monthly % of adults/children

and only count that % of costs with CACFP funds
