Section 126-85-15 - Production Records

15.1. Completion of production records for breakfast is required in child nutrition programs in West Virginia. Booklets containing these record sheets will be furnished by the WVDE and, after completion, will be kept on file in the school with child nutrition records for three years plus the current year.

15.2. A production record documents the menu and the quantities of foods served. Therefore, it is an excellent management tool. A production record should contain the following basic information:

15.2.1. menu items;

15.2.2. portion size planned;

15.2.3. quantity/number of food/food items prepared;

15.2.4. number and size container (#10 can, pounds, count, etc.);

15.2.5. number of portions of food left over;

15.2.6. disposal of leftovers;

15.2.7. number students not yet served when food supply ran out;

15.2.8. number of meals served by category (children and adults);

15.2.9. date and day of the week; and

15.2.10. name of person completing report.

15.3. When production records are used to full advantage in child nutrition programs, food production costs and food waste are kept to a minimum. Advantages of using production records in specific school programs are:

15.3.1. in single choice situations, production records help forecast the amount of food to prepare; and

15.3.2. when choices of menus or menu items are offered, production records help forecast the number of servings to prepare for each menu item thus reducing the possibility of running out of a choice.
