The recipes from the 1999 publication Child Care Recipes: Food for Health and Fun from USDA's Child and Adult Care Food Program have been updated to reflect the changes made in the 2001 Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs. Revised recipes have been standardized, edited for consistency, analyzed for nutrient content, and updated with CCP information based on the 2005 Food Code Supplement. At present, the recipes are available only on the Web from NFSMI, Team Nutrition, and Healthy School Meals Resource System.
Funding for this project was provided by USDA/FNS through a cooperative agreement with NFSMI.
