APPENDIX A-6. Menu Survey Follow-up Report

Dear <NAME OF SPONSOR>,

Thank you for sending the list of foods and beverages served (and the recipes for those foods when needed) for the week of <SELECTED WEEK> at <SITE NAME> to Westat. We have reviewed the information, and need additional details about some of the foods and beverages served. The form below identifies the items that we have questions about, along with the day of the week the item was served. For each menu item, the questions listed in the column “Additional details” specify the type of information we need.

Please have the staff member responsible for planning menus complete the information on the form, and then return it to us via email, uploading it to the FTP site, fax or regular mail. If your staff prefers to provide us the information in a telephone call, please email _______________ or call ______ to schedule a call. You may also contact us at that email address or telephone number if you have any questions about this form.

Instructions

Your list of foods and beverages served and their recipes provided most of the information we need. In the tables below, we list items for which we need additional details organized by the type of meal component the item provides.

There are five meal components: Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, Meats/Meat Alternates/Cheese, and Milk. If the menu item was a combined food (like a sandwich) or a mixed dish (like pizza), the table lists the ingredient followed by the menu item containing the ingredient. For example, if the menu item was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, we may have questions about the bread in the sandwich. The table will list “Bread (peanut butter & jelly sandwich)” in the section on Grains, and “Peanut butter (peanut butter & jelly sandwich)” in the section on Meats/Meat Alternates/Cheese (see Figure 1.)
