lunches and suppers served in the
CACFP. Notice is hereby given that the
national average minimum value of
donated foods, or cash in lieu thereof,
per lunch under the NSLP (7 CFR part
210) and per lunch and supper under
the CACFP (7 CFR part 226) shall be
23.75 cents for the period July 1, 2015
through June 30, 2016.
The Price Index is computed using
five major food components in the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer
Price Index (cereal and bakery products;
meats, poultry and fish; dairy; processed
fruits and vegetables; and fats and oils).
Each component is weighted using the
relative weight as determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The value of
food assistance is adjusted each July 1
by the annual percentage change in a
three-month average value of the Price
Index for March, April, and May each
year. The three-month average of the
Price Index decreased by 3.75 percent
from 217.35 for March, April, and May
of 2014, as previously published in the
Federal Register, to 209.20 for the same
three months in 2015. When computed
on the basis of unrounded data and
rounded to the nearest one-quarter cent,
the resulting national average for the
period July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2016 will be 23.75 cents per meal. This
is a decrease of one cent from the school
year 2015 (July 1, 2014 through June 30,
2015) rate.
