Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers (Step 2) Time 1 hour Equipment Overhead projector for transparencies and/or computer and data projector for PowerPoint slides Projection screen Materials and Supplies Transparencies or PowerPoint slides for section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers participant manual (one for each participant) Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (one for each table) Six tennis balls, each with one of the following labels attached: (1) menus, (2) recipes, (3) list for standard stock and yearly items, (4) list for menu items, (5) calculator, (6) pen and paper NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 33
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers Purpose of Section 3 Show slide 1 and state that the purpose of section 3 is to introduce Step 2 in the food purchasing process. Step 2 is developing a grocery list. Lesson Introduction Emphasize that developing the grocery list is time-consuming, but it is an important step to purchasing success. Note: Use the six tennis balls described under Materials and Supplies on page 33 for the following activity. Take the six tennis balls and attempt to juggle them. Then, throw them one by one to different participants and ask the participants to catch them. After you have thrown all six balls, ask those who caught them to read aloud the label on the ball. Point out that a person must juggle the six things labeled on the balls menus, recipes, the list for standard stock and yearly items, the list for menu items, a calculator, and pen and paper when making the grocery list. The best way to juggle all these is to break up the task of making the grocery list into two parts: (1) making the list of items needed and (2) estimating the quantities. Section 3 of the participant manual deals with how to develop the list of items needed and section 4 deals with how to estimate quantities. 34 NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers Objectives of Section 3 State that section 3 has three objectives. Show slide 2 and state that at the end of section 3 the learner will be able to o name the parts of a grocery list and o distinguish among food items that should be kept in the pantry at all times, purchased yearly, or purchased only when on the menu. Show slide 3 and state that at the end of section 3 the learner will also be able to develop a grocery list for a small child care center. Parts of the Show slide 4 and state that the grocery list is divided into three parts. p. 15 Note: At this point, only go over the general definition of each part as given below. Mention that you will go over each part in more detail later in the lesson. One part is standard stock items. o These are foods that are kept on hand all of the time. o They are staple food items that are replaced often. Another part is yearly items. o These are foods that are purchased only once per year. o They are mostly herbs and spices. The third part is menu items. o These are foods that are purchased only when they are on the menu. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 35
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 15 Parts of the (cont.) Show slide 5 and state that the list of menu items is made by o adjusting the recipes to the correct quantities [by using the yields in the Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (FBG) (USDA/FNS, 2001) to determine the quantities needed by age group], *Note: record quantities of foods using the purchase unit (i.e., lb, oz, doz, qt, gal) when possible. o writing down the foods and quantities needed to prepare the recipes, and * o writing down the other foods required to prepare the menu (those that do not have a recipe) and estimating the quantity of each. * Point out that the FBG needs to be used when determining quantities. Show a copy of the FBG and put it on a desk or table so that the participants can review it during a break time. Mention that section 4 explains how to use the FBG. Point out that breaking the grocery list into these three parts standard stock items, yearly items, and menu items makes purchasing a system that is not people dependent. With this system, if the person who usually makes the grocery list gets sick, goes on vacation, quits, etc., another person can easily step in and make the list. Emphasize that once the grocery list is organized and the staff member with this responsibility gains experience, the task becomes easier. 36 NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 15 Cycle Menus Show slide 6 and point out that cycle menus save time. They save time because each time a menu in the cycle is repeated, the previous grocery list can be used. Ask those who already use cycle menus to raise their hands. o Ask them to state how long their cycles are. o Ask for any tips they can suggest for cycle menus. Standard Stock Items p. 16 Show slide 7 and state that standard stock items are foods that are kept on hand all of the time. They are also called par stocks and inventory on hand items. Any food that is used each week could be placed in this group. Emphasize that the foods in this group will differ from center to center. Examples of foods of this type are allpurpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vegetable oil, vinegar, pan release spray, jams, jellies, imitation maple syrup, peanut butter, catsup, tomato paste, instant nonfat dry milk, and mayonnaise. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 37
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 16 Standard Stock Items (cont.) Continue showing slide 7 and state that infant foods fall under standard stock items. Point out that the infant foods section of this list should be left blank until the center knows the exact food or formula that a child will receive. Show slide 8 and state that USDA/FNS recommends that a school, center, or day care home offer the type of formula that the infant s health care provider has suggested to the infant s parent (or guardian). A center should maintain a list of formulas not requiring a medical statement. USDA/FNS has provided State Agencies with a list of formulas that do not require a medical statement when offered to infants in the CACFP. Point out that a complete copy of this list and other information can be found on the Web. o The Web address for this list is on page 16 of the participant manual. o Have the participants open their manuals to page 16 and locate the Web address, which is http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/care/regs- Policy/infantmeals/formulaList.htm. Emphasize that a center should have a stated policy related to infant formulas and foods. A center has a couple of options for this policy. 38 NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 16 Standard Stock Items (cont.) Show slide 9 and state that this slide shows the two policy options a center can take in regard to infant formulas and foods. One option a center should consider is to make an effort to provide all infants with the formulas or foods that they receive at home. This approach is used most often when at-risk children are served. p. 17 The second option is to approve specific formulas and infant foods and make only those formulas or foods available. If parents want their child to have a different food or formula, they may decline the offered formula or food and supply another type. Ask the participants what policy their centers have regarding infant formulas and foods. Show slide 10 and emphasize that participants should check with the State Agency if they are not sure whether a type of infant formula requires a medical statement to be served in the infant meal pattern. Refer the participants to the sample standard stock list on page 27 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and that they will be filled out in section 4. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 39
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 17 Yearly Items Show slide 11 and state that yearly items are foods that the center uses in small amounts and buys only once or twice per year. Examples of foods in this group are cinnamon, paprika, vanilla flavoring, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, crushed oregano, and garlic powder. Emphasize that a center should buy quantities of these foods that it will use within 1 year (even if the expiration dates are beyond 1 year) because many herbs and spices lose flavor after a year. Refer the participants to the sample list of yearly items on page 27 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and will be calculated in section 4. Menu Items Show slide 12 and state that menu items are foods that are purchased only when they are on the menu. Normally these items are purchased weekly. Foods that do not store for a long time are in this group. Milk, fresh eggs, and fresh fruits and vegetables are always in this group. Some foods in this group can be stored for a long time. However, because of their cost, centers may choose to put them on this list if the centers do not want to spend money until the item is needed. Refer the participants to the sample menu items list on page 28 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and that they will be calculated in section 4. 40 NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 17 How to Save Time Show slide 13 and state that if a center puts as many foods as possible in the standard stock list, it saves time in making the grocery list. One reason for this is that the center does not have to calculate how much to buy of these items because it always buys a certain amount a standard stock of these items. For example, it might always buy 1 gallon of vegetable oil. p. 18 A center also saves time because it does not need to write these items down. o A center should keep a printed list of these items and the amount to buy when it is low on them. o When the center s menus call for these items, a staff person walks to the pantry with the list, circles any item that is low, and indicates that a new package or container needs to be purchased. Show slide 14. It shows part of a sample standard stock list. The center with this list keeps a standard stock of two 14-oz boxes of whole-grain crackers. If a staff person goes to the pantry and finds only one box, he or she circles the quantity (click on the computer mouse to make the circle appear) and writes 1 beside the circle to indicate that the center needs to buy one 14-oz box. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 41
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 18 How to Save Time (cont.) Continue showing slide 14 and state that you will give another example of how to use the standard stock list in purchasing. The center keeps a standard stock of three 1-lb boxes of margarine. If a staff person goes to the pantry and finds only one box, he or she simply circles the quantity (click on the computer mouse to make the circle appear) and writes 2 beside the circle to indicate that the center needs to buy two 1-lb boxes. Meals Served at Oak Street Child Care Center Show slide 15 and tell participants that you will use Oak Street Child Care Center to discuss how to develop a grocery list. Remind participants that Oak Street Child Care Center is open Monday through Friday, 52 weeks a year, except for certain holidays. Point out that the Center serves meals to infants, children, and caregivers. Remind the participants that Oak Street Child Care Center serves breakfast, lunch, and a snack daily. for Day 4 Show slide 16 and state that you will review how to make Oak Street Child Care Center s grocery list for Day 4. Point out that to make the grocery list for Day 4, you need the menus for children and infants for Day 4, the recipes for Day 4, and the grocery list. 42 NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Section 3 Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 18 for Day 4 (cont.) Note: As you do this review, if participants ask why an item is on the Menu Items list as opposed to the Standard Stock Items or Yearly Items list, allow them to discuss the issue. Remind them that there are no right or wrong answers. Every center is different. The objective is to get the participants to recognize the differences among the three parts of the grocery list and to learn the decisionmaking process. Point out that the grocery list is made by going down the list of foods on the menu. It is not made in alphabetical order. The menu for children for Day 4 will be considered first. Have the participants locate this menu on page 9 of their manuals. Show slide 17 and point out that the first item on the menu for children for Day 4 is milk. It is on the menu three times. Show slide 18 and point out that milk is on the Menu Items list because the type of milk served (flavored or unflavored) varies each week. The asterisk (*) in the Quantity column means the quantity needs to be calculated using the FBG. The quantities needed for milk will be calculated in section 4. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 43
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 18 for Day 4 (cont.) Continue showing slide 18 and state that 1qt refers to the quantity needed for the broccoli cheese soup recipe.

Activity 1 p. 22 Note: The purpose of Activity 1 is to have the participants practice placing foods in the three columns of the grocery list form. Have the participants do the activity either individually or in small groups. Give them 15 minutes to do the activity. Key Point Remember to record quantities of foods using the purchase unit (i.e., lb, oz, doz, qt, and gal) when possible. Have the participants open their manuals to Activity 1 on page 22. Read over the following directions of Activity 1 with them. Directions: The first step in making a grocery list is to look at each food on the menus and recipes and decide if it is a standard stock item, a yearly item, or a menu item. Also, if the food is part of a recipe, the amount needed for the recipe should be written down beside the food item if the food falls under Menu Items. If the food on the recipe falls under Standard Stock Items or Yearly Items, the amount needed for the recipe is not written down because the Center stocks enough to make the recipe. NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 57
Food Purchasing for Child Care Centers p. 22 Activity 1 (cont.) Directions (cont.): (Section 4 explains how to determine the quantities to keep on hand for standard stock items and yearly items.) The grocery list on pages 27 28 has all of the foods needed to prepare the menus and recipes for children and infants for Days 1 4 at Oak Street Child Care Center. However, the grocery list is missing the foods from the menus and recipes for Day 5. Add the foods on the menus and recipes of Oak Street Child Care Center for Day 5 to the grocery list. Look at each food and decide if it should go under Standard Stock Items, Yearly Items, or Menu Items. Then, write the food down on that part of the list. The Standard Stock Items and Yearly Items parts of the grocery list are on page 27. The Menu Items part is on page 28. Also, if a food under Menu Items is used in a recipe, write down the quantity needed for the recipe beside that food. If the food is not used in a recipe or is a standard stock or yearly item, do not write down any quantity beside it. If a food under Menu Items needs a quantity calculated from the FBG, put an asterisk (*) in the Quantity column. Do not complete the Quantity columns in this activity. These will be completed in section 4. The menu for children for Day 5 is on page 10, while the menu for infants for Day 5 is on page 13. The two recipes used for the menu for children for Day 5 can be found on pages 25 26.
