As of June 8, 2026, the fluid milk requirements for the CACFP expanded by allowing child and adult care providers to offer whole and reduced-fat milk to participants two years and older. This update puts into effect the milk requirements established by the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and helps ensure that meals continue to follow the nutrition recommendations outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. By removing previous milk fat restrictions, programs can now offer more milk choices, including whole and reduced-fat milk, to better serve their participants.

In rural communities, distance and transportation challenges can make summer meal access complicated, but grab-and-go options through SFSP are helping bridge the gap. For many children in low-income rural communities, summer meals through the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) are a lifeline. Thanks to federal updates, sponsors can now serve rural non-congregate meals (think grab-and-go or delivery options) while staying compliant with USDA regulations. Find out how rural programs can take advantage of that flexibility without tripping over red tape and also download our SFSP Compliance Checklist to confirm eligibility and compliance: https://www.myfoodprogram.com/compliant-grab-and-go-summer-meals-for-sfsp/

On March 19, 2026, USDA Team Nutrition released the updated Crediting Handbook for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). If you operate the CACFP —whether as a sponsor, provider, or center—this is one of those key resources that keeps you in compliance. At its core, the Crediting Handbook helps answer the question, ““Does this food count toward the meal pattern?”

While the handbook has been rewritten to align with current USDA policy wording and make it easier to use, nothing else has changed. Specifically, there are

✔️ No changes to CACFP meal pattern requirements,
✔️ No new policy tied to the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and
✔️ Regulations remain unchanged

The update focuses on usability. The goal is faster, clearer decision-making without having to interpret dense policy language. Here are the most meaningful additions:
