Menu Icons

Icons on the menu calendar can assist users in assessing their compliance with recordkeeping requirements, including whether menus and meal counts are up-to-date, and if there is a whole grain rich food.

1. Fork & Knife: means that a menu has been planned. The name of the meal turns green once both a menu and meal count have been entered.
2. Child: means that an infant menu has been planned.
3. Food Production Record: means that a food production record has been created for this meal.
4. CN Label: means a food was added requiring additional documentation in the form of a CN Label or Product Formulation Statement.
5. Individual Infant Feeding Records: red means that an infant has been checked in for a meal. Once each infant checked in for a meal has an individual infant feeding record, the icon will turn green.
6. Juice: means that juice was served that day. The software automatically prevents juice from being served twice in one day.
7. Whole Grain Rich: green means you have served a food that is whole grain-rich. If you have not served a food that is whole grain-rich, the icon is red.
8. Meat/Meat Alternate: means that a meat/meat alternate was served at breakfast instead of a grain. The software automatically limits those substitutions to three times per week.

1. Numbered List: means that a meal count has been entered.
2. Bus or Bus with Slash: school bus means
   the child care facility is open and school is in session (i.e. school-agers are not expected at morning snack or lunch); school bus with slash means the child care facility is open but school is not in session (i.e. school-agers are expected at morning snack or lunch)
   
3. Site Closures: means that the site was recorded as closed or on a holiday that day.
4. Field Trip: means that a field trip is scheduled for this meal. (Adding a field trip does not prevent a provider or center from recording meal counts. The field trip function is there to alert the site monitor that the provider or center will be off-site during the meal service.)
