Sec. 248.9  Nutrition education.



    (a) Goals. Nutrition education shall emphasize the relationship of 

proper nutrition to the total concept of good health, including the 

importance of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables.

    (b) Requirement. The State agency shall integrate nutrition 

education into FMNP operations and may satisfy nutrition education 

requirements through coordination with other agencies within the State. 

Such other agencies may include the WIC Program which routinely offers 

nutrition education to participants and which may wish to use the 

opportunity of the FMNP to reinforce nutrition messages. State agencies 

wishing to coordinate nutrition education with WIC shall enter into a 

written cooperative agreement with WIC agencies to offer nutrition 

education relevant to the use and nutritional value of foods available 

to FMNP recipients. In cases where relevant WIC nutrition education 

sessions are used to meet this requirement, reimbursement to the WIC 

local agency shall not be permitted. In cases where FMNP recipients are 

not receiving relevant nutrition education from the WIC Program, the 

State agency shall arrange alternative methods for the provision of such 

nutrition education which is an allowable cost under the FMNP.
