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 (P701C) 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 $16.00 per case.
For products from Sunny Fresh, Café Favorites, etc. your
case cost is listed on the “Commodity Processing Order Blank for those
products. The USDA value of the commodity items is shown on the Commodity
Receipt Manifest you receive from CANS and on the processing order blank.
