Product Information Sheet and USDA Foods Database Survey

OMB Number: XXXX-XXXX 

Expiration Date: MM/DD/YYYY 

  

Dear School Food Authorities,  

 

You were recently invited to participate in a voluntary survey aimed at determining how USDA Foods in Schools Product Information Sheets and the USDA Foods Database are currently being utilized and identifying potential opportunities for improvement. Your feedback is critical as we seek to ensure USDA Foods product information is being presented in a way that is most useful to you.

  

As a reminder, please identify someone from your school food authority (SFA) to complete the survey to provide feedback to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). If multiple individuals make use of these resources, more than one response can be submitted on behalf of each SFA. If your SFA contracts with a food service management company (FSMC), please forward to your FSMC to complete. We are requesting feedback through the survey by XXXX XX, 2024. 

The survey can be accessed at the following link: Product Information Sheets and USDA Foods Database Survey.

 

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].  Thanks in advance for your assistance!  

Sincerely,
