This Act modifies the requirements for the operations of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) . The Act makes many important improvements to CACFP. The purpose of this memo is to summarize the changes that have been imposed by the Act thus far. There will be more changes to come. The Act is available at [http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/htmls/hunger_free.htm](http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/htmls/hunger_free.htm).  \nAll institutions are encouraged to review each of these mandates, review their current procedures, train staff on the changes, and revise all necessary written procedures. We will continue to update this document as information becomes available to our agency. If you have any questions, please contact CACFP center staff at 1-800-545-7892 or email [cnp@isbe.net](cnp@isbe.net).  \nNew notifications  \nFluid Milk and Fluid Milk Substitutions—For ALL Institutions  \nOn May 11, 2011, USDA issued a memo that changed the requirements for fluid milk and fluid milk substitutions in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) . Fluid milk served in the CACFP must now be consistent with the most recent version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and allows the substitution of non-dairy beverages that are nutritionally equivalent to fluid milk in cases of special dietary needs.  \n• Fat-Free and Low-Fat Milk  \nThe 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend that persons over two years of age consume fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1%) fluid milk. Therefore, fluid milk served to children two years of age and older must be: fat-free or low-fat milk, fat-free or low-fat lactose reduced milk, fat-free or low-fat lactose free milk, fat-free or low-fat buttermilk, or fat-free or low-fat acidified milk. Milk served must be pasteurized fluid milk that meets State and local standards, and may be flavored orunflavored. Whole milk and reduced-fat (2%) milk may not be served to children over two years of age. Because the Dietary Guidelines for Americans do not address milk served to children under the age of two, the requirements to children in this age group are unchanged.  \n• Non-dairy Beverages  \nIf children cannot consume fluid milk due to medical or other special dietary needs, other thana disability, non-dairy beverages may be served in place of fluid milk. Non-dairy beverages must be nutritionally equivalent to milk and meet the nutritional standards for fortification of calcium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, and other nutrients to levels found in cow’s milk. Refer to the information on our website at [http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/pdf/cacfp_fluid_milk_qa.pdf](http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/pdf/cacfp_fluid_milk_qa.pdf)[ ](http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/pdf/cacfp_fluid_milk_qa.pdf)[to ensure the milk substitute meets the specific requirements.](to ensure the milk substitute meets the specific requirements.)  \nParents or guardians may now request in writing non-dairy milk substitutions without providing a medical statement. As an example, if a parent has a child who follows a vegan diet, the parent can submit a written request to the child’s caretaker asking that soy milk be served in lieu of cow’s milk. The written request must identify the medical or other special dietary need that restricts the diet of the child. Such substitutions are at the option and expense of the facility.  \nThe requirements related to milk or food substitutions for a participant who has a medical disability and who submits a medical statement signed by a licensed physician remain unchanged. The fluid milk and fluid milk substitutions requirement is effective immediately but should occur no later than October 1, 2011.  \nWater Availability—For ALL Institutions  \nOn May 11, 2011 USDA established a requirement to make potable water (water that is safe for humans to drink) available to children participating i","cbCaiurhTFAlMZKh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiurhTFAlMZKh","pdf",79400,"English","# New notifications\n## Fluid Milk and Fluid Milk Substitutions—For ALL Institutions\n## Water Availability—For ALL Institutions\n## Prior Notifications\n## Cooperation with Program—For ALL Institutions","[{\"question\":\"What law and act are the updates based on?\",\"answer\":\"The updates are based on the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296), signed on December 13, 2010, which modifies CACFP operating requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes apply to fluid milk for CACFP institutions?\",\"answer\":\"For children two years and older, fluid milk must be fat-free or low-fat (including lactose reduced/lactose free, buttermilk, or acidified options).
