For those of you on the food program:

CACFP guidelines for grains under snack says "1/2 serving or 1/2 oz equivalent"

So, if I were to serve ritz crackers would the serving size for a child be 2.5 crackers since the serving size listed on the box is 5 crackers?

I am not on the food program, and don't serve crackers often but was reading a post where a parent complained that she picked up her child and the provider had given the children 2 crackers along with something else and the parent didn't think that was enough food for a snack. So, I peeked at the guidelines out of curiosity and if I am reading them correctly the provider did get the serving size for crackers correct, correct?
