At your adult day care center, you want to serve yogurt at breakfast and again that same day, during lunch. Both times, yogurt would be served in place of milk. Is this allowed? Why or why not? |  |\n\nAnswer Key:  \n1. Maya’s age: 1 year. Type(s) of Milk: Because Maya is 1 year old, she may be served unflavored whole milk in the CACFP. If she is younger than 1 year and 1 month (13 months), she may also be served iron-fortified formula . There is a 1-month transition period to help children adjust to whole milk between the ages of 12 months and 13 months .  \nDarrick’s age: 2 years. Type(s) of Milk: Because Darrick is 2 years old, he may be served unflavored fat-free (skim) milk orunflavored low-fat (1%) milk . If he is younger than 2 years 1 month (25 months), he may also be served unflavored whole milk, and unflavored reduced-fat (2%) milk . There is a 1-month transition period when the child turns 2 to help him or her adjust from whole milk to fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1%) milk .  \n2. Olivia’s Age: 5 ½ years. Type(s) of milk: Because Olivia falls into the 2-through 5-year-old age group, she can be served unflavored fat-free (skim) milk and unflavored low-fat (1%) milk .  \n3. No, you are not allowed to serve yogurt instead of milk at breakfast AND at lunch. You are only allowed to serve yogurt instead of milk at one meal per day to adult participants. If you are serving yogurt as a meat alternate, you may not serve yogurt in place of milk at the same meal .  \nFNS-654 Slightly Revised Oct","cbCaim7CPUYOt4D0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim7CPUYOt4D0","pdf",307130,"English","# Serving Milk in the CACFP\n## Milk options by age group\n## Non-dairy substitutions\n## The Facts on Flavored Milk\n## Try It Out!\n## Answer Key","[{\"question\":\"What milk can be served to children from newborn through 11 months old in CACFP?\",\"answer\":\"Breastmilk is allowed at any age in CACFP.
