🍽️✨ Meal Substitution Reminder for Sites! ✨🍽️
Every child. Every meal. Every record matters! 💙
If a child receives a different meal component than the rest of the classroom, please remember to document the substitution in the system and on the Meal Production Record.
For example:
If most children receive chicken breast, but one child receives tofu, the record should show that 1 child received tofu.
✅ Scroll down on the Meal Production Record page
✅ Click the Medical/Special Dietary Substitution icon
✅ Select the child’s name
✅ Choose which component was substituted and what was served instead
Important reminder: A child’s name will only appear if they are marked as having a Special Diet in the Participant tab.
🏠 Home Food Reminder: Parents/Guardians may only bring one item from home, and that item must be CACFP compliant and within the same meal component group.
