NOTES: The dotted line indicates components of the process that iterate until the criteria for food package revisions are met (see criteria 1 through 7 presented above).

* The sensitivity analysis tests the assumptions applied to develop the cost-neutral revised food packages. For example, if redemption of a food in the final revised package was assumed to be 80 percent, the sensitivity analysis could test effects on cost, nutrients, and food groups should redemption rise to 90 percent. A description of the sensitivity analysis is provided in Chapter 8.
