How it Works
|
Commodity Processing allows State distributing agencies and
eligible recipient agencies such as school districts to contract
with commercial food processors to convert raw bulk USDA commodities
into more convenient, ready-to-use end products.
Most of the commodities processed
through the program go to schools participating in the National
School Lunch Program.
Also, in an effort to reduce costs and
paperwork, all multi-state processors must enter into a National
Processing Agreement with FNS which has taken on the roll of
holding the agreement with the processor and approving all of the
end products that will be manufactured under the agreement. For more
