USDA Releases SNACS-II Study
CACFP operators have an opportunity to support healthy behaviors among young children through the meals they serve and the food and wellness environments they provide. The report highlights the great work being done by CACFP operators, as well as the importance of CACFP in promoting nutrition security. The data collated in the SNACS-II report can be used to identify areas of CACFP that are lacking and to provide solutions to enhance program success.
