CACFP Shopper 1.2.1

The CACFP Shopper app, developed by the Iowa Department of Education, serves as an interactive tool designed to assist users in identifying creditable items while shopping. Although it is available for use by individuals across all U.S. states, users seeking clarification on specific products are advised to consult their respective State Agency.

The app guides users through a series of questions related to the products encountered, providing immediate responses regarding the creditability or whole grain richness of the items. Noteworthy features of the app include:

• The ability to input data from the Nutrition Facts Label to determine if a breakfast cereal or yogurt complies with sugar requirements.
• Quick access to information that facilitates informed purchasing decisions.
• A ‘My List’ feature that allows users to save selected items for future reference.
• The option to retain the list for subsequent shopping trips or share it with team members responsible for purchasing.
