Why do many child care centers use food vendors?
- Many child care centers use foodservice vendors because they help meet CACFP specifications by providing CN labels and cycle menus.
- Additionally, food distribution vendors are ideal for larger centers because of the cost savings of buying in bulk.
- Not to mention, many daycares choose food distribution services because of the time saved by having food delivered directly to the center.
