K-12 Documentation

According to the USDA, schools are required to keep documentation on file for two types of items:

Child Nutrition (CN) labeled items

• Items that may contain a CN label include:

  • Main dishes that contribute to the meat/meat alternate component of the meal pattern

Processed items that contribute to the meal pattern but are not CN labeled

• A Product Formulation Statement (PFS) is required for these items

• PFS: signed statement on manufacturer’s letterhead, demonstrates how the product contributes to meal pattern requirements

The USDA encourages schools to obtain documentation directly off the package whenever possible. In the event that you are unable to obtain adequate information from the packaging, Gordon Food Service has collected CN labels and PFSs directly from the manufacturer for your reference.

Below are documentation files for K-12 items stocked at Gordon Food Service. They're sorted by reorder number. You can also view the entire list directly in a new tab.
