NOTES: — = No test 2 and/or test 3 was conducted; CVV = cash value voucher; FF = formula-fed; WG = whole grain. Results were based on the food package nutrient and cost profiles and calculated redemption rates developed using the method outlined in Appendix R.

^a To test the effect of the changes that were made to the revised package, the current food package amounts and redemption rates were held constant, changing only the food amounts and redemption rates of the food or foods in the category being tested.

^b The revised food package redemption rate is applied in each test, unless otherwise indicated.

^c Results are presented in Chapter 8.

NOTES: Tests of decreases in the amount of milk and milk substitutions may result in increases or decreases of nutrients due to changes in redemption rates and allowable substitutions. For example, revised and alternative packages allow an additional quart of yogurt compared to the current packages; 1 qt of fat-free milk contains 363 kcal and no added sugars, whereas 1 qt of low-fat vanilla yogurt contains 833 kcal 66 g of added sugars. See additional notes following Table S-22.

NOTES for Tables S-2 through S-22: * = AI value; AI = Adequate Intake; c-eq = cup-equivalents; DFE = dietary folate equivalents; EAR = Estimated Average Requirement; FP = food package; HEI = Healthy Eating Index–2010; IU = international units; oz-eq = oz equivalents; NA = not applicable; ND = not determined; RAE = retinol activity equivalents; WG = whole grain.

Current amounts reflect the foods as currently redeemed. Revised amounts reflect calculated revised redemption rates. Tests apply the calculated revised redemption rates to the changed food category unless noted otherwise. Details on methods used to develop the food package nutrient and cost profiles and to generate redemption rates are available in Appendix R.
