Manage Food Items

Sponsors have the ability to customize the food items in our database in two ways:

1. To exclude foods. Food items that are excluded are unavailable for providers or centers to add to menus and if they already exist on a menu will trigger the error for Food Item is Not Creditable.
2. To set favorite foods for newly-created sites. Favorite foods show up on a dropdown menu when adding food items and can be customized per provider or centers.

• Login as a sponsor. This will take you to the main sponsor dashboard.
• From the sponsor dashboard, click the tab that says Setup

• From the sponsor setup screen, click the button that says Manage Food Items

• Select the food category and age range (infant or non-infant)

• Place a checkbox by the food items that you want to exclude or remove the checkbox to make an item available
• Click the heart icon by the food item that you want to set as a Favorite Food for new sites or remove the heart if you no longer want that item as a Favorite Food when creating a new site

• When you are done, click the green Save button.

Note: sponsors are not able to add foods to our database - that is a function available only to My Food Program staff. If you need a food added to our database, please contact us and we will get it added right away.
