FNS Documents & Resources

Antes de comer, piense que y cuanto va a servir en el plato, taz6n o vaso.

Before you eat, think about what and how much food goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl.

USDA Foods from Farm to Plate e-letters feature resources, news, and best practices, rotating our monthly focus between a trio of program-specific e-letters.

The USDA Foods Nutrition Education Resource Library provides program-specific, nutrition education resources for FDPIR administering agencies.

This gallery contains handouts such as infographics, brochures, and factsheets on a variety of nutrition education topics developed by the National Council on Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. Department of Agriculture. 

This agreement sets out the requirements for administering the child nutrition programs and the food distribution programs.

This one-page factsheet highlights the nutrition benefits of USDA Foods contained in the CSFP food package. 

Form FNS-7 "Destination Data for Delivery of Donated Foods" is to be used for reporting in conjunction with FNS Instruction 709-5.  

FNS requires that inventories do not exceed a six-month supply of any USDA Foods without approval from FNS. Per 7 CFR 250.17(a), state agencies administering TEFAP are required to use Form FNS-155, Inventory Management Register, to report any food items in state and state-contracted warehouses that exceed six months of inventory.

This sharing gallery page  contains cookbooks and recipes that specifically target participants of CSFP and older adults.  Resources have been developed by non-profit organizations, State agencies, and the USDA.
