Display Program Adult Headcount on Meal Count by Name Page
Federal regulations for the CACFP require that centers or sites “must maintain daily records of time of service meal counts by type (breakfast, lunch, supper, and snacks) served to enrolled children, and to adults performing labor necessary to the food service.”
This setting in My Food Program controls whether centers or sites doing meal count by name for enrolled participants are also able to record a headcount for Meals Served to Program Adults to meet the above requirement.

- In the upper-right corner, select the center or sites for which you want to change the setting
