Notes

  • Contains soy (tempeh and teriyaki sauce). Tempeh and teriyaki sauce can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
  • Sesame can appear as an ingredient in food where it might not be expected
    (tempeh) and may be included in the ingredient statements as “spice” or
    “flavoring.”
  • Tempeh made with ingredients limited to soybeans (or other legumes), water,
    tempeh culture, and for some varieties vinegar, seasonings and herbs is
    creditable. One oz of tempeh credits as 1 oz eq meat alternate. Tempeh made
    with other creditable ingredients (brown rice, sunflower seeds, vegetables,
    etc.) require a Child Nutrition label or Product Formulation Statement to
    document meal pattern contribution. For more information on serving
    tempeh, refer to the CACFP policy memorandum SP 25 CACFP 12 SFSP
    11-2019 Revised “Crediting Tempeh in the Child Nutrition Programs” at  fns.usda.gov/cafp/policy.
  • Cauliflower rice is cauliflower that has been grated or cut into very small,
    rice-sized pieces.
