It is never acceptable for a manufacturer to simply state that the product provides a certain amount of credit. Manufacturers must also verify that the credit a product contributes to meal pattern requirements is not greater than the serving size of the product and assure that the creditable components are visible in the finished product. Sponsors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that a menu fulfills all meal pattern requirements; therefore, all PFSs must be validated.
To support sponsors and manufacturers and expedite the AR process, Nutrition Services Division NSD staff are available to validate calculations for contribution to the meal pattern. This process does not provide an official approval for an end product. The validated PFS is listed by manufacturer and includes the product name and code number in the description.
Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations , sections A photograph of the CN label while it is attached to the product carton is also acceptable documentation. If the original CN label from the product carton, or the valid photograph or photocopy of the original CN label is not available, sponsors may provide the bill of lading invoice containing the product name and a paper or electronic copy of the watermarked CN label that displays the product name and CN number provided by the vendor.

This means that if a food service authority participating in the child nutrition programs purchases a CN labeled product and uses it in accordance with the manufacturer's directions, the school or institution will not have an audit claim filed against it for the CN labeled product for noncompliance with the meal pattern requirements of 7 CFR If a State or Federal auditor finds that a product that is CN labeled does not actually meet the meal pattern requirements claimed on the label, the auditor will report this finding to FNS.
