fl avors (they now have 9 SKUs) to soy-based frozen yogurt–
which is a more delicious product and for which there is a
huge demand.
Ted missed the strong presence of Imagine Foods at
the show; they used to have three large booths and lots of
delicious foods. Recently they were purchased by Hain-
Celestial Food Co.; so this year they had 3 feet inside the
Hain both. It was sad.
Ted does not know why Robert Nissenbaum sold his
company (Imagine Foods) to Hain. He believes that Imagine
Foods soymilk plant was in Lathrop, California. Cheryl
Mitchell and her husband (of California Natural Products)
were divorced. Address: TAN Industries, Inc., 49 Stevenson

Alternate Protein Products (vegetarian) in the government’s
Child & Adult Care Food Program. Vegetarian Journal
(Baltimore, Maryland) 22(2):2, 5.
• Summary: Federal funding of the Child & Adult Care
Food Program (CACFP) supports daily meals and snacks
for 2.6 million children and 74,000 adults at home day care
programs, day care centers, after-school care programs,
and shelters. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
administers the program at the federal level; at the state level
it is administered by state education and health departments.
Modifi cations to the “Vegetable Protein Products”
requirements were fi nalized in March 2000. With the latest
group of changes, “Vegetable Protein Products” were
renamed “Alternate Protein Products” (APP). The cap on the
amount of APPs that can be used in menus was removed, and
the new regulations no longer require that APPs be fortifi ed.
Tofu and tempeh don’t qualify as APPs because they don’t
meet the requirement in Appendix A that APPs must contain
at least 18% protein by weight when fully hydrated or
formulated. Soymilk and soy yogurt don’t count as APPs
either–even though dairy yogurt does.
