19. Is there a list of approved foods or what is considered food that is “too processed”? Foods we are curious about are wild rice, maple syrup, fillet fish, oats, local cheese.

We don’t have a specific list that we can share aside from what the USDA has in their definition (see page 10 of the RFP, or question #4 in this section). That being said, we have asked about some products specifically and know that maple syrup, wild rice, and oats are allowed, and the fish could be allowed if it is raw and just cut into fillets (no added ingredients or further processing). Cheese is allowed, but cannot have added ingredients beyond what is need to make the cheese from fluid milk (For example, jalapeño cheddar is not allowed).
