Offer meat/meat alternate in place of grains 2. Offer a meat/meat alternate as an extra item Common breakfast M/MA: Cheese Yogurt Sausage Egg Ham

22 Meat/Meat Alternate In Place of Grains When offering a meat/meat alternate in place of grains in SBP Must also offer at least 1 ounce equivalent of grains daily Must count the meat/meat alternate toward the weekly grains range and the weekly dietary specifications 1 oz. eq. Grain 1 oz. eq. M/MA

25 Large Grain Options Q. Does a large grain food items (2 oz eq muffin/egg sandwich) count as more than one item at breakfast? A. It is up to the menu planner s discretion: 1. The menu planner can choose to count the muffin as 2 food items and offer 2 other items, fruit and milk (4 food items). The student may select the muffin and either the fruit or milk for a reimbursable meal. The student may not decline the muffin. 2. The menu planner can choose to count the muffin as 1 food item and offer 3 additional food items. 2 oz eq muffin, 1 oz eq toast, fruit, and milk. A student that selects any 3 items such as toast, fruit, and milk would have a reimbursable meal SP (v.2) released June 13,

26 OVS- Grains (part 2) Grains-meat/meat alternate combination items When counting the meat/meat alternate as grains, the combo may count as two food items Example: egg sandwich w/ 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of m/ma counting as grains = 2 food items If not counting the meat/meat alternate toward the grains component, the combo is one food item Three additional items must be offered to have OVS Student may decline the combination Example: egg sandwich w/ 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of m/ma not counting as grains (extra) = 1 food item

27 OVS- Grains (part 3) Allowing students to take two of the same grain item If a menu planner offers two different 1 oz. eq grain items at breakfast, a student may be allowed to take two of the same grain and count as two items At the discretion of the menu planner to allow duplicates Example: school offers milk and fruit, plus two grains: cereal (1 oz. eq) and toast (1 oz. eq) Student could select fruit and two toasts 2 nd toast selected in place of other grain offered (cereal) Only one item (milk) declined
