Now Available! The Exhibit A Grains Tool on the Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (FBG) Mobile App

On August 12, 2019, FNS released the Exhibit A Grains Tool as a new feature on the FBG Mobile App on both Apple and Google app stores! The Exhibit A Grains Tool was first released on the FBG Interactive Web-Based Tool to allow users to search their grain product (as listed on Exhibit A) and enter in the serving size as listed on the product label. The tool then determines:

  • the ounce equivalent (oz. eq) grains or grains/bread serving(s) for the grain product
  • the amount of the grain product to serve to obtain a specific meal pattern contribution.

The FBG Mobile App is currently available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store (https://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/food-buying-guide-mobile-app). Check to ensure you have the most current version of the app on your mobile devices!
