11 Terms and Definitions As Purchased (AP) and Edible Portion (EP) The As Purchased (AP) weight is the amount purchased. The Edible Portion (EP) weight is the amount of product that can be consumed. The As Purchased (AP) weight is greater than the Edible Portion (EP) weight. The quantity of the component must be the edible portion as served as identified in the Food Buying Guide (FBG). Age/Grade Groups Schools must plan menus using the age/grade groups K-5, 6-8, and These groups reflect predominant school grade configurations and are consistent with the Institute Of Medicine s Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) groupings. Specific calorie levels are required for a meal to be considered a healthy school meal depending on the age/grade groups. 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 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 Component Lunch Food component means one of the five food groups which comprise a reimbursable lunch meal. In the School Lunch Program a school must offer Meat/Meat Alternate (M/MA), Grains (G), Vegetables (V), Fruits (F), and Fluid Milk (Milk). For the purposes of Offer Versus Serve (OVS), students must select at least three food components for a reimbursable lunch meal. Page 5

12 Food Item A food item in the School Breakfast Program is a specific food offered within the three food components. In the School Breakfast Program, a school must offer at least four food items. For the purposes of Offer Versus Serve (OVS), students must select at least three food items for a reimbursable breakfast meal. Food items are credited towards a reimbursable breakfast meal and not at credited towards a reimbursable lunch meal. Production and Menu Records Schools or SFAs, as applicable, must keep production and menu records for the meals they produce. These records must show how the meals offered contribute to the required food components and food quantities for each age/grade group every day. School Week School week means the period of time used to determine compliance with the meal requirements. The period shall be a normal school week of five consecutive. For schools with occasional decreases in the school week length due to holidays, for example, the menus do not have to be adjusted, but menu planners must plan their menus in a way that is consistent with the intent of the meal patterns. Planners should make sure they do not consistently fail to offer certain vegetable subgroups, or offer meat/meat alternates and/grains in portions that would exceed the weekly requirements. Unit Pricing Schools must price each meal as a unit. If Offer Versus Serve (OVS) is practiced, a breakfast meal has the same cost if a student selects three, four, or five items. As of July 1, 2012, schools must identify, near or at the beginning of the serving line(s), the food items that constitute the unit priced reimbursable school meal(s). The price of a reimbursable breakfast or lunch meal does not change if the student does not take a food item or requests smaller portions. Page 6

13 Dietary Guidelines and the School Nutrition Program Comparison Chart Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 Balancing Calories to Manage Weight The Dietary Guidelines recommend improving eating and physical activity behaviors, managing body weight, increasing physical activity, and maintaining appropriate calorie balance during each stage of life Foods and Food Components to Reduce Americans should reduce their sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg or 1,500 mg per day depending on age and other individual characteristics. School Nutrition Program Balancing Calories to Manage Weight Specific calorie levels are required for a meal to be considered a healthy school meal depending on the age/grade groups. These calorie levels are based on weekly averages. Foods and Food Components to Reduce Sodium requirements phased in over a period of 10 years. USDA Foods are able to provide low-sodium processed meats, cheeses, and other Meat/Meat Alternate products. Foods and Food Components to Reduce Less than 10% of calories should be from saturated fat, less than 300 mg of cholesterol, reduce trans fat consumption, reduce calories from solid fat Foods and Nutrients to Increase Choose a variety of protein such as lean meat, beans, peas, soy products, and unsalted nuts/seeds, increase the amount in variety of seafood, use oils to replace solid fats where possible Foods and Food Components to Reduce Saturated fat less than 10% of calories over a school week. Nutrition label or manufacturer specifications must indicate zero grams of trans fat per serving. Foods and Nutrients to Increase Lean or extra lean meats, seafood, yogurt, tofu, poultry, beans/peas (legumes), eggs, cheese. Nuts and seeds and their butters listed in USDA-FNS guidance are nutritionally comparable to meat or other meat alternates based on available nutritional data. However, nuts and seeds may be used to meet no more than one-half of the Meat/Meat Alternate component and must be paired with another Meat/Meat Alternate to meet the full requirement. This restriction does not apply to nut butters. Page 7

Building Healthy Eating Choices Whole Grain-rich foods required weekly and daily. All grains must be whole grain-rich for breakfast and lunch meals. Daily lunch vegetable requirement includes dark green, red/orange, beans/peas (legumes), starchy, and other vegetable subgroups required weekly. Fruit is offered daily at breakfast and lunch meals. Fluid milk, must be low-fat (unflavored) or fatfree (unflavored or flavored) is offered daily at breakfast and lunch meals.

Explain your answer. Scenario 2 Answer Space Page 14

21 Sample OVS Breakfast Menus Additional Foods Menu planners also have the option of offering a meat/meat alternate item as an additional food and not credit it toward any of the food components. Additional food cannot be credited as food items for purposes of OVS. A school can serve yogurt or another meat/meat alternate item at breakfast simply to increase the calories, but choose not to count it as a food item. Additional foods do not count toward the daily or weekly Grains component requirement, but must be counted toward the weekly dietary specifications (calories, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat). Four food items, in addition to an additional meat/meat alternate item food, must be offered in order to have OVS. Additional food items must be documented on the Food Production Record. Directions: Review the menus for Scenario A and Scenario B and determine if the student s selection of the menu items meets the criteria for an OVS breakfast reimbursable meal. Page 15

27 Sample OVS Breakfast Menu Planning Scenarios Answer Key Directions: Review the menus for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 and determine if the menus as planned meet the criteria for a reimbursable breakfast meal. If the menu scenario does not meet a reimbursable breakfast meal, provide recommendations for improvements. Scenario 1 Combination Food: Breakfast Burrito Scenario 1 Food Item Portion Size OVS Food Requirement Breakfast Burrito on whole 1 oz. eq Grains minimum daily 2 Grains items grain-rich tortilla requirement 1 oz. eq Meat/Meat Alternate item Orange slices ½ cup Fruit 1 Fruit/Vegetable item Variety of milk 1 cup Milk 1 Milk item Does this menu scenario meet the criteria for an OVS breakfast reimbursable breakfast meal? Explain your answer. Scenario 1 Answer Yes. The combination food (e.g. breakfast burrito) counts as two food items under the grains component. The whole grain-rich tortilla provides the minimum daily requirement of 1 ounce equivalent of grains. There is also 1 ounce equivalent of meat/meat alternate item which is counted in place of grains. A 2 ounce equivalent grain is can be considered 2 food items for purposes of OVS, and is being credited this way in this scenario (menu planner must decide this in advance and make clear and consistent for students and the POS). Therefore, it is acceptable under OVS to offer a combination food that counts as 2 Grain items, plus the full required amount of fruit and milk. In this scenario, the student may not decline the breakfast burrito under OVS as three credited food items would not be selected if only milk and fruit were taken. Page 21

28 Scenario 2 Combination Food: Breakfast Parfait Scenario 2 Food Item Portion Size OVS Food Requirement Yogurt parfait with fresh berries 1 oz. eq Meat/Meat alternate item 1 Grain item 1 Fruit/Vegetable item ½ cup Fruit Kiwi slices ½ cup Fruit 1 Fruit/Vegetable item Variety of milk 1 cup Milk 1 Milk item Does this menu scenario meet the criteria for an OVS reimbursable breakfast meal? Explain your answer. Scenario 2 Answer No. The minimum daily requirement of 1 ounce equivalent of grains has not been met in this scenario. It is acceptable under OVS to offer a combination food that counts as 1 ounce equivalent meat/meat alternate item, plus the full required amount of fruit. However, in this example, the yogurt can count as additional 1 ounce equivalent of meat/meat alternate item only after the minimum grain requirement is met. Adding a 1 ounce equivalent of granola or whole grain-rich cereal will meet the minimum daily requirement of 1 ounce equivalent of grain requirement. In this revised scenario, once the minimum daily grain requirement has been met, the student may decline the yogurt parfait under OVS as long as three other credited food items would are selected for instance, the whole grainrich cereal, (granola) fruit, and milk. Page 22

29 Sample OVS Breakfast Menus Additional Foods Answer Key Directions: Review the menus for Scenario A, Scenario B, and Scenario C and determine if the student s selection of the menu items meets the criteria for an OVS reimbursable breakfast meal. Scenario A Sample Breakfast Menu-Four Food Items and Additional Food Food Item Portion Size Food Component Whole grain Toast 1 oz. eq Grain 1 Grain item Whole grain cereal 1 oz eq Grain 1 Grain item Hard-boiled egg Additional food Meat/Meat Alternate cannot be credited as food item Orange slices 1 cup Fruit 1 Fruit/Vegetable item Variety of milk 1 cup Milk 1 Milk item Is this a reimbursable breakfast meal? No. In this example, the hard-boiled egg is being offered as an additional food and cannot be credited as an item towards the grains component. Taking or declining the egg, since it is an additional food, cannot be credited as a food item for OVS. A student who selects one piece of toast, an egg, and orange slices, from this menu does not have a reimbursable meal. Page 23

30 Scenario B Sample Breakfast -Four Food Items- Additional Foods The student s selections are the items highlighted in the shaded box. Food Item Portion Size Food Component Whole grain toast -2 slices 2 oz. eq Grain 1 Grain item Hard-boiled egg Additional foods Meat/Meat Alternate item cannot be credited as food item Orange slices 1 cup Fruit 1 Fruit/Vegetable item Variety of milk 1 cup Milk 1 Milk item Is this a reimbursable breakfast meal? Yes. A student selects two slices of toast and the orange slices. The student has selected a reimbursable meal (declined one item, the milk) because the egg has been identified as an extra food and does not count as a credited food item. Page 24
