The Child Nutrition Program meal pattern needs to follow a food-based menu planning method. This method requires that specific amounts of food included in the meals have a daily variety that will contribute to a healthy diet. The Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (FBG) is designed to help determine how much food to buy and prepare to ensure that the meals you serve under the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP) meet program requirements1.
Kraft Heinz offers a wide variety of products that meet these Meal Pattern Requirements.
