 Processed Commodity Prices As a reminder, your cost for processed commodity items is the price indicated on the invoice you receive. It is not the USDA value per case price listed on the commodity order blank or manifest/receipt from CANS. The price on those forms is the USDA value of the commodity product contained in each case of the processed product. For example, the USDA value of a case of the Apricot Applesauce Cups is $5.21 case. This is the value of the commodity apricots contained in a case of the cups. The actual cost of the product as listed on the invoice as well as on the order blank as "Your Cost" in the rate of issue section is $15.45 per case. For products from Sunny Fresh, Miceli Dairy, etc. your case cost is listed on the individual order blank specifically for those products. The USDA value of the commodity items would be shown on the Commodity Receipt Manifest you receive from CANS. Oak Valley offers two items; a deli style breast slab - P010A and smoked turkey picnic ham – P011A. The products are processed at the Oak Valley Farms facility in Watertown, SD. There is no “fee for service” charge to public schools for these products. For non-public schools the cost per case is $30.00.
