The Child Nutrition (CN) Database, Release 26 (CN26), is now available at https://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/child-nutrition-database. The CNDB is a required database for nutrient analysis software approved by USDA for use in school meals. To maintain USDA approval, software companies must submit their nutrient analysis and certification of compliance software, updated to include CN26, to the USDA Software Evaluation Team by Monday, September 18, 2023. FNS recommends that companies update their software for their customers by the start of their school year, if possible. After September 18, 2023, CEs and local schools should verify with their nutrient analysis software company to ensure that the software includes the most current version of the Child Nutrition Database (CN26).
