USDA Recipes for Schools
Alphabetical by Recipe Name

These updated recipes from the 1988 Quantity Recipes for School Food Service and the 1995 Tool Kit for Healthy School Meals reflect the changes made in the newest edition of the Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs. Revised recipes have been standardized, edited for consistency, and updated with Critical Control Point (CCP) information from the 2003 Food Code supplement. At present, the recipes are available only on the Web--from NFSMI, Healthy School Meals Resource System, and Team Nutrition. The recipes are scheduled for distribution to School Food Authorities on CD-ROM during Summer 2006 by USDA/FNS.

Corrections to some of the original updated recipes were made since their first release. A list of the corrected recipes by date can be viewed here.

Food safety information is based on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 2001 Food Code as supplemented in 2003. The 2003 Food Code supplement dropped the hot holding temperature from 140 °F to 135 °F. Always check your State or local health codes to determine if they are more restrictive.

Funding for this project was provided by USDA/FNS through a cooperative agreement with NFSMI.
