After 1 June 2024, the long day care 'one day' menu assessment option is no longer available on FoodChecker.
We're making some exciting updates to long day care assessments, meaning it will be much faster and easier to plan a long day care menu that meets the Menu planning guidelines. You will be able to plan as much, or as little, of the menu as you want, so there will be no need for a separate one day assessment function!
After 1 June 2024, you will not be able to start a new one day assessment or copy or edit existing one day assessments.
You will be able to view your existing one day assessments.

You can't directly transfer your recipes from a one day assessment into a one week assessment, but there are some ways to save your recipes and add them into a new assessment:
Here’s how to recreate your one day menu assessment in a one week menu assessment:
Step 1: Save your recipes
(If these recipes are already in your recipe bank you can skip this step!)
Step 2: Add your recipes into a new one week assessment.
Once you have entered every food and drink for that day, you can choose to do one of the following options:
a) Exit FoodChecker, and your progress will be saved. You can return to this assessment at any time in future, or
b) Complete the full week, or
c) Get feedback on one day so far:
1. Click ‘Next’, then answer the questions on the next screen, then click ‘Finish assessment’.
2. Your results will appear on screen. Click ‘Save assessment as PDF’ to download your report. If you have not entered a full week menu, the results will say that the menu does not meet the Menu Planning Guidelines, but you don’t need to worry about this as you were only checking one day.
3. Scroll down to view the feedback for each individual day. Your results will show you where each day does meet the guidelines and may include recommendations for healthier changes. If there are no recommendations for that day, congratulations! It means that day aligns with the Menu Planning Guidelines!
After 1 June 2024, you will only be able to view existing one day assessments. You will not be able to copy or edit them.
