[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCDS uses the Good Food Company. A few other daycares in the same area use this service and not good as the food that some places serve (i.e. organic places) but they do have some standards.

Here's what the GFC Web site says about their food:
 	
Good Food offers a nutritious, well balanced meal that is lower in processed foods than other caterers. All meals meet the requirements of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and are eligible for reimbursement. We offer vegetables and fresh fruit every day. Our on-site bakery is always busy baking bread from scratch without any added preservatives or dough conditioners. Our milk is from cows not treated with Bovine Growth Hormones. We grind our beef on site from large muscle chucks and we use no scraps. The only exception is the meatballs that we use which are purchased. Our beef is fresh, safe, and delicious! It costs us more, but it is worth it. We use few canned items - our vegetables are fresh or frozen. We use whole wheat pastas, brown rice, and our homemade breads have several diferent grains and seeds. Our lunch program uses high quality ingredients for a fresher, less processed taste. It's healthy and it tastes good.

You should also ask whether they use the GFC Breakfast and Snack service. Some use all three, Breakfast/Lunch/Snack, while other centers use just Lunch. If your center prepares its own Breakfast and Snack you should ask what standards they use. Happy hunting for a good daycare[/quote]

PP, can you tell which centers are using your services? [/quote]
