  4. State Agency memo # 9-14 Combination meals: • Individually portioned combination foods (i.e. sandwiches) will now be allowed to be credited toward as many components as allowable under current regulations. The menu must clearly reflect all ingredients counting toward a component (instead of “turkey sandwich”, specify “turkey (1oz), cheddar cheese (1oz), whole wheat bread (2 slices), lettuce (1/4 cup)”. • Combination foods where all the ingredients are mixed together during preparation and each participant receives a single portion that contains all of the components (chicken noodle soup with vegetables) must have a recipe or production record on file to demonstrate this item fulfills the meal pattern requirements.

  5. State Agency memo # 10-14 Hummus: • commercially-prepared products labeled as “hummus” are not creditable unless there is a Child Nutrition (CN) label or a Product Formulation Statement (PFS) signed by an official of the manufacturer (not a salesperson). • Hummus prepared from scratch, whether by the participating facility, its sponsor, or its FSMC, is creditable if a recipe or production record is maintained on file to demonstrate that the total recipe and each serving provides enough garbanzo beans and tahini (or other creditable substitutes) to meet minimum portion requirements for the meat/meat alternates and/or fruit/vegetable component(s).

  6. State Agency memo #11-14 Newly creditable soy milks: • Silk Original Soy Milk (red carton) • Safeway’s Lucerne Original Soy Milk
