Grain Component. for Lunch Meal Pattern

Transcription

1 Slide 1 Grain Component This training will give an overview of the Grain requirements to meet the Meal Pattern for national school lunch and school breakfast programs. Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs Please visit our training resource page for additional training. In the meal planning resource section you will find trainings for other food component areas including how to credit grains. Slide 2 Grain Component for Lunch Meal Pattern The first section of this training will focus on the meal pattern for lunch and the second section will focus on the meal pattern for breakfast. Slide 3 Lunch Menu-Components of a Reimbursable Meal 1)Fruits 2)Vegetables 3)Grains 4)Meat/Meat Alternate 5)Fluid Milk Just a quick review. The new lunch meal pattern consists of 5 components. Today we are going to talk about the grain component.

Let s take a look at grains on the meal pattern grid for lunch. On this slide the breakfast pattern is covered to remind you that we are talking about the lunch meal pattern first. The grains component is highlighted. To review, (click) you see the three grade groups, at the top right. Grade groups, K-5, (click) 6-8 (click) and Then look down on the left grains is listed. Below each grade group is the weekly minimum ounce equivalent grains, and in parentheses is the daily minimum ounce equivalent grains that grade group. (click)the Grade k-5 meal pattern requires a student is offered a minimum of 8 ounce equivalents of grains for the week. The daily minimum serving to offer is 1 ounce equivalent. (click)the Grade 6-8 meal pattern requires a student is offered a minimum of 8 ounce equivalents of grains for the week. The daily minimum serving to offer is 1 ounce equivalent. (click)the Grade 9-12 meal pattern requires a student is offered a minimum of 10 ounce equivalents of grains for the week. The daily minimum serving to offer is 2 ounce

3 equivalents. Please note that this grid is for a 5-day school week. There is a grid for 4dayweek, and a 7day-week on the ODE website. The daily minimum is the same regardless of how many days are in a school week. The weekly minimum is more for 7 day week and less for a 4 day week. Slide 6 Minimum per day Minimum per week Lunch- Grain Component Grades Grades Grades K oz eq 1 oz eq 2 oz eq 8 oz eq 8 oz eq 10 oz eq *SY half of all grains must be whole grain-rich As shown on the previous slide, the new meal pattern has both daily and weekly grain requirements. This slide shows the daily and weekly grain requirements for the 3 grade groups. For Grades 9-12 the minimum per day is a 2 oz equivalent. This is a change in the food based meal pattern. Before this change, menu planners had the option of serving 1 ounce equivalents of grains for grades 9-12 as long as the weekly requirements were met. Slide 7 Definition of Whole-Grain Rich To receive credit the whole grain-rich food must contain at least 50% whole grains and the remaining grain content of the product must be enriched. To be considered whole grain-rich, a food product must contain at least 50 percent whole grains and the remaining grains in the product must be enriched. If the food item is a grain-based product (such as bread or cereal), it must contain at least 50 percent or more whole grains by weight or have a whole grain listed as the first ingredient on the ingredient label. If the food item is a mixed dish product (such as lasagna or stir fry), a whole grain must

4 be the primary grain ingredient by weight. Slide 8 Lunch- Grain Based Desserts Only two ounce equivalents of grain-based desserts are allowed at lunch per school week Only two ounce equivalents of grainbased desserts are allowed at lunch per school

5 week Slide 9 Grain Component for Breakfast Meal Pattern This part of the training will focus on menu planning requirements for grain to meet the meal pattern for breakfast. Slide 10 Terms and Definitions Age/Grade Groups Food-Based Menu Planning Food Component 1) Grains(with optional meat/meat alternate items) 2) Fruit/Vegetable 3) Fluid Milk Food Item Let s take a few minutes to review some Terms and Definitions. Age/Grade Groups Schools must plan menus using 3 grade groups K-5, 6-8, and Food-Based Menu Planning The food-based menu planning approach focuses on food components, not nutrients. There are three required food components at breakfast. Food Component Breakfast A food component is one of the three food groups that comprise

6 Beans/Peasf 0k 0k 0k reimbursable breakfasts. The three food components to be offered to all students at breakfast are: grains (with optional meats/meat alternate items allowed); fruit/vegetable; and fluid milk. Food Item A food item in the School Breakfast Program is a specific food offered within the three food components.

On this slide lunch is covered to remind you that we are only talking about the breakfast meal pattern. The grain component is highlighted. Saturated Fat <10 <10 <10 <10 <10 <10 (% of total calories)n,o Sodium(mg)n,p Trans Fatn,o Nutrition manufacturer specifications indicate trans fat per Label of must zero grams of serving. For grades K-5 the daily grain requirement for breakfast is 1 ounce equivalent and the weekly requirement is 7 ounce equivalents. For grades 6-8 the daily grain requirement for breakfast is 1 ounce equivalent and the weekly requirement is 8 ounce equivalents. For grades 9-12 the daily grain requirement for breakfast is 1 ounce equivalent and the weekly requirement is 9 ounce equivalents. Unlike lunch, 1 menu can be used for breakfast. For grades K-12 the daily grain requirement for breakfast is 1 ounce equivalent and the weekly requirement is 9 ounce equivalents. Please note that this grid is for a 5-day school week. There is a grid for 4dayweek, and a 7day-week on the ODE website. The daily minimum is the same regardless of how many days are in a school week. The weekly minimum is more for 7 day week and less for a 4 day week.

7 Slide 12 Breakfast- Grain Component -Optional Meat/Meat Alternate SY half of grains offered must be whole grain-rich Meat/ Meat Alternate offered at breakfast can counts towards grain component if 1 ounce equivalent of grain is also offered. Meat/Meat Alternate do not count towards whole grain-rich requirements. In SY , half of the grains offered for breakfast must be whole grain rich. This applies only to the grain items offered in this component and not the meat/meat alternate. Meat/ Meat Alternate offered at breakfast can counts towards grain component if 1 ounce equivalent of grain is also offered. Meat/Meat Alternate do not count towards whole grain-rich requirements. Slide 13 Breakfast Grains Component Whole Grain/Enriched Only grain ingredients that are whole or enriched are creditable for school breakfast. If the grains in the product are not whole grain, they must be enriched. Only grain ingredients that are whole or enriched are creditable for school breakfast. If the grains in the product are not whole grain, they must be enriched.
