The Department of Education, Bureau of Nutrition Programs and School Transportation does not have a formal process for alerting Child Nutrition Programs of food recalls and alerts unless it is a USDA Donated Commodity Food Product. Further, the Department is not the agency with authority to manage other recalls. School Program participants are notified of Commodity Food Product alerts and recalls through an e-mail system (the School Food Authority is responsible for keeping their emergency contact e-mail address on file with the Bureau current) and posting to the Bureau web site.
Even though the agency does not manage recalls and alerts of other food items, this web
site will include postings of such items that probably have a strong likelihood of being served
in a Child Nutrition Program, CACFP, SP, or SFSP. These postings will occur as DE becomes aware
of them, but usually with some time lag. Postings will be for approximately 6 months.
For the most current list of unsafe, hazardous or defective products, six federal agencies
with vastly different jurisdictions have joined together to create www.recalls.gov -- a "one stop shop" for U.S. Government recalls. Click on the web site below frequently to
obtain the most up to date comprehensive listing.

School Food Safety Program - Process Approach to HACCP
The Child Nutrition Program Reauthorization requires the
creation of a school Food Safety Program based on the process
approach to a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)
food safety system. This local Food Safety Program must be in
use by the beginning of school, fall 2006. Below is a document
that provides links to the basic information about the Food Safety
Program regulation. It also provides additional websites, for further
information and resources.
