Child Nutrition (CN) Labels The CN Labeling Program is a voluntary Federal labeling program for Child Nutrition Programs. Provides information on how a product contributes to the meal pattern requirements. If you purchase a product that does not have a CN label, you must obtain a food manufacturer‘s specification sheet.

Recipes Standardize and Analyze Begin with a standardized recipe: must list all ingredients with measures. must provide the # of portions it makes. Next, analyze recipe to determine contribution to meal pattern – see FBG, Appendix A. Having standardized recipes makes it easy to plan the menu and production. Documentation on the production record can then be limited to referencing the standardized recipe – no need to detail all ingredients!
