CHOP™ Basics
Click here to watch the CHOP™ instructional video or you can read about CHOP™ below.
CHOP™ is a program that ranks food into three categories, choose frequently, choose moderately, or choose sparingly.
- 1 (Choose frequently)
- 2 (Choose moderately)
- 3 (Choose sparingly)
Food that does not have a nutritional label cannot be ranked and will instead be given one of the following designations, minimal contribution, non-food, or not able to rank.
- MC (minimal contribution)
- NF (non-food)
- NR (not able to rank)
Food from Second Harvest Food Bank will already come labeled with one of the CHOP™ designations. CHOP™ rankings can be found on the online shopping list under the “Nutrition Description” column.
