USDA Memo on Incorporating Local Beef into CNP Meals
USDA released a memo outlining opportunities within current CACFP and SFSP regulations for operators to procure and use local beef in their creditable meals. This memo is in response to the 2025-2030 DGA recommendations to prioritize protein foods, and does not make any changes to the current CACFP or SFSP requirements.
