Slide 7 The CN Label has four integral parts, which includes the Product name, ingredient statement, CN logo, and inspection legend. All four parts must be present on a product carton in order for the CN label to be valid. This is a sample of a CN Label that provides crediting information for the meat/meat alternate, grain and vegetable subgroup components. For CACFP and SFSP sponsors: total the crediting information for all vegetable subgroups listed to determine the total vegetable component contribution. In this example, the total vegetable contribution would be ¼ cup plus ¼ cup + 1/8 cup, totaling 5/8 of a cup of vegetables. Manufacturers producing qualifying products (m/ma entrées containing grains) may apply for a (CN) Label to indicate the number of oz eq grains that meet the whole grain-rich criteria. The term eq “oz grains” on the CN Label indicates that the product meets the whole grain-rich criteria for the NSLP meal pattern, while the terms or “bread” “bread alternate” on the CN Label indicates that the product meets the enriched grain criteria for the CACFP and SFSP meal pattern. In this example, the label uses the term eq grains’ indicating ‘oz that it would meet the grain requirement for the NSLP (and therefore, the bread requirement for CACFP and SFSP).
