Federal regulations under the NSLP and SBP programs require each sponsor to have completed a written HACCP plan, including full standardized operating procedures.
These plans must be implemented and staff must be trained for the program to be in full compliance. The second evolution of the HACCP plan, once implemented, is to review the plan annually to ensure that all components are functioning within the program effectively. Once the annual review is completed, the sponsor should begin working on enhance of the HACCP plan by incorporating disaster planning, bio-security, and pandemic elements.
FNS nutrition assistance programs have a role in
responding to nutrition assistance needs during a
human pandemic influenza. Guidance for pandemic
planning for H1N1 may be located here.
