CACFP Administrative Manual
Child and Adult Food Care Program Main Web page
Overview
The California Department of Education (CDE) Nutrition Services Division (NSD) developed the CACFP Administrative Manual which provides state and federal guidance on critical compliance areas of the CACFP. Requirements outlined in this manual apply to all CACFP agencies, except where noted. The CDE revises the CACFP Administrative Manual as program updates take place; agencies are ultimately responsible for complying with all current federal regulations, USDA Food and Nutrition Service Instructions, USDA policy memoranda, and CDE management bulletins.
