CACFP & SFSP Menu Planning and Documentation Tools
Menu planning, source lookup, meal-pattern gap checks, and documentation drafts in one workspace for U.S. CACFP and SFSP programs.
Menu Builder
Build a weekly menu and compare its components and portions with the selected federal meal pattern for your program and age groups.
- Configured CACFP & SFSP pattern fields
- Configured portion fields for the selected setup
- Export to Excel or PDF
Yield & Product References
Use USDA Food Buying Guide yield entries in a separate planning-reference flow. Search Product Records across available FoodData Central, CNDB, and PFS sources. A record alone is not proof of creditability.
- 2,200+ imported USDA FBG yield entries for planning reference
- Product Records across available FDC, CNDB, and PFS sources
- Missing documentation stays unresolved
Meal Pattern Checker
Catch missing components while you plan. Checks compare entered menu data with configured federal meal patterns; your sponsor or state agency makes the final determination.
- As-you-build meal-pattern gap checks
- Component breakdown analysis
- Suggestions for missing items
