*Flash drives with all required materials
were mailed to each SFA on 7/27/12
*Notes on two slides within the training
Attention all SFAs with 4-day weeks! The USDA Menu Worksheets, required tools for Certification, which can be found on the flash drive that was mailed to you, have an error that we have identified. In red, the worksheets flag desserts that exceed the 2-oz maximum over the course of the week. However, we have found that even if an SFA is under the maximum, the box still stays red. Unfortunately, USDA is unable to correct the worksheets. So, if you are completing the worksheets, are under the 2-oz maximum for desserts, and still have a red box, please go ahead and return your worksheets on the flash drive to CDE, once you are finished with them. This is the one exception we will allow for worksheets to be submitted with a red box!
