School Breakfast Program “Meal Pattern and Monitoring”

for SY 2013-2014”

• Meal Pattern Requirements• Monitoring Requirements

– Point of Service– Offer vs. Serve

• Recordkeeping Requirements

• Focus on implementing changes for SY 13-14

• Be flexible and watch for updates from MDE

• Requirements may change for next year and/or future years

Breakfast: The “Phased In” Approach

– New Breakfast Meal Pattern takes effect July 1, 2013 Grade groups 4 target nutrients similar to lunch 3 food components required Minimum of 4 required food items offered with OVS

– Only ½ cup fruit required for SY 13-14 No limits on juice in SY13-14

– Emphasis on grains and whole grain rich (WGR) 50% WGR in SY13-14

– Meat/meat alternate can sub for some grain After 1 oz. daily grain minimum is met

– Breakfast is a mandatory part of state review

The Breakfast Bottom Line

• Effective This Fall: SY 13-14– Meal Pattern

A single Food-Based Menu Planning – New grade groups– Half of weekly grains must be whole grain rich

– Nutrient Requirements Offer weekly grain minimums (no maximums) Calorie ranges take effect 0 grams of trans fat per serving size

• State Administrative Reviews 3-year cycle• Weighted nutrient analysis of 1 week menus Includes a full breakfast review

Overview and Timeline

True or False:

The meal pattern grade groups

for breakfast are the same as the

grade groups for lunch

Quick Quiz #1

• Correspond to School Lunch Program– K-5 - 6-8 - 9-12

• Flexibilities– Portion size requirements of each grade group must

be met Overlap exists between 3 grade groups A single menu can be used that meets portion size

requirements of all 3 grade groups Nutrient requirements of each grade group must still be met

Grade Groups

• At least 3 food components/items must be offered in minimum portion size or greater

• Only applies when OVS is not implemented– Any combination of:

Milk 8 fluid ounces Grain 1 ounce equivalents Fruit/Vegetable/Juice (Meat/Meat Alternate, if at least 1 oz. grain offered first)

• Possible menu combination without OVS– 1 oz equivalent grain, ½ cup fruit, 1 cup milk

Breakfast Meal Pattern without OVS

Grades K-5 Grades 6-8 Grades 9-12Fruits ½ cup per day ½ cup per day ½ cup per day

Vegetables Optional in place of fruit

Breakfast Meal Pattern for SY13-14

For calorie requirements at breakfast,

there are:

a) Minimums

b) Maximums

c) Both minimums and maximums

Quick Quiz #2

Date of Implementation

Grades K-5 Grades 6-8 Grades 9-12

Min-Max Calories

SY 13-14 350-500 400-550 450-600

Sodium Target 1 SY 14-15 <540 <600 <640

Sodium Final SY 22-23 <430 <470 <500

Trans Fat SY 13-14 0 grams

Saturated Fat SY 12-13 Less than 10% of total calories

Nutrient Requirements

• Minimum and maximum calorie levels applies to average meal served over the course of the week– Individual meals within a week may be above or below the

weekly range

• If offering 1 meal pattern to all students, calorie (and other nutrient requirements) for each grade group still apply– 450-500 calorie range would meet all grade group

calorie requirements

credit toward fruit component Does not include energy bars, granola bars, cereal bars,

breakfast bars, fortified cereals or cereals with dried fruit

Meal Pattern Components - Grains

http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/healthierschoolday/pdf/9_WGInstruction.pdf



Meal Pattern ComponentsGrains

• Forms-continued– Ensure Ready to Eat

Breakfast Cereals are “fortified” Check ingredient statement on

side or back of box/bag

– Fortified = enriched

• A meat/meat alternate can be served at breakfast and counted toward the grain component only if:– At least 1 ounce equivalent of grains is offered daily

• 1 ounce equivalent of meat/meat alternate = 1 ounce equivalent of grain

• Count meat/meat alternates toward the weekly:– Grain requirements AND– Nutrient requirements (calories, sodium, saturated fat and

trans fat)

Meat or Meat Alternates as Grains?

Crediting Meat/Meat Alternates

• Yogurt – ½ cup = 1 oz. equiv

• Cheese – 1 oz = 1 oz. equiv

• Egg – ½ large egg = 1 oz.

equiv

• Peanut Butter– 2 Tbsp = 1 oz. equiv

• Breakfast meats– need Child Nutrition

label or product formulation statement

• Tofu – see USDA memo

http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/Policy-Memos/2012/SP16-2012os.pdf





• No requirement to offer meat/meat alternates

• Meat/meat alternates can be counted as “extras”. When counted as an “extra”, it is:– Not credited toward grain requirement– Not counted toward Offer versus Serve– Is counted towards nutrient requirements

• Ensure daily minimum requirement of 1 ounce equivalent of grain is met

• Document when you are counting meat as an “extra” vs. the meal pattern

Meat/Meat Alternates as “Extras”

• Allowable milk options include:– Fat-free skim (unflavored or flavored)– Low-fat 1% (unflavored only)– Fat-free or low-fat lactose-reduced or lactose-free

• Must offer at least 2 choices of flavors or fat contents

• Does not change nutrition standards for fluid milk substitutes– Refer to Clarification on the Use of Milk, Juice and Other

• Offer versus Serve– Definitions– Timeline– Requirements

• Breakfast Monitoring Requirements– Traditional– Grab and Go– Classroom– Alternate Point of Service

Monitoring Requirements Outline

– Offer versus Serve Offer at least 4 food items (specific to OVS only) Fruit may be split to count as more than 1 food item Student must select at least 3 food items from what is

offered– Regardless of how many food items offered– Importance of bundling items into respective components

– Monitoring Same “point of service” requirements apply as before


• Food Component: category of food that must be offered at breakfast. There are 3 food component groups: “fruit”, milk, and “grain”

• Food Item: foods or combinations of foods that may be offered within the 3 food component groups– 4 food items from the 3 food components must be

offered for OVS– Larger portion size grain items may count as more

than 1 food item

Example: a 2 ounce equivalent muffin can count as 1 or 2 food items (menu planners discretion)

Definitions

• Items are the minimum a child can take

• Choices give students options to choose from different items

• Continue to encourage choices

OVS: Choices vs Items


• Menu = 1 milk, 1 slice of toast, 2 fruit choices– Fruit choices = ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup oranges, ½ cup

apple, ½ cup peaches– Student could take 1 milk, 1 toast, and ½ cup oranges– Would not be required to take 3 out of 4 fruit choices!– SFAs should still offer choices, but decide how many items

a student can take

Example: Choice vs Items


• “Fruit” Food Component – Fruit food item(s) – Vegetable food item(s)– Fruit food item(s) and vegetable food item(s)

• Milk Food Component– 1% unflavored milk– Skim milk, flavored or unflavored

• “Grain” Food Component – Grain food item(s)– Grain food item(s) and Meat/Meat Alternate item(s)

Definitions, continued

• What is Offer versus Serve (OVS)?– Allows students to decline food items, taking at least 3

of the 4 food items offered (at minimum) that they intend to eat

• Why did USDA create OVS?– Increase customer satisfaction– Reduce plate waste– Help control food costs

• OVS is optional for all grade levels for breakfast– Decided by the district/school

Determined for each grade level

Offer versus Serve

• At least 4 food items must be offered in minimum portion size or greater

• Student must select at least 3 food items Offer 4 food items, student must select 3 Offer 5 food items, student must select 3

• Possible menu combination with OVS– 2 oz grain, ½ cup fruit, 1 cup milk– 1 oz grain, 1 oz meat, ½ cup fruit, 1 cup milk– 1 oz grain, ½ cup fruit, ½ cup fruit, 1 cup milk

Breakfast Meal Pattern with OVS

1. Menu planner creates planned breakfast menu

– At least 4 food items in correct portion sizes from any combination of: Milk: 8 fluid ounces

Fruit (or vegetable): 1/2 cup for SY 13-14 only

Grains (or part meat/meat alternate)– At least 1 oz equivalent grain must be offered

Additional ½ cup fruit or 1 oz equivalent grain or meat/meat alternate may be offered as the 4th food item

OVS-How it works

2. Student selects a reimbursable meal

– Must select at least 3 food items from planned menu

4 food items: student must take 3 food items

5 food items: student must take 3 food items

OVS-How it works, continued

3. Monitor/Cashier determines that correct:– number of food items, – in planned portion size,– from the correct food components has been selected

4. Meal can be claimed for reimbursement

OVS-How it works, continued

• Fruit may be counted as 2 food items on any or all days of the week– Offer two ½ cup servings of different fruits to make a

reimbursable menu of 4 food items: Waffle Sticks(1 oz eq) Apple slices (1/2 cup) Orange juice (1/2 cup) Milk (8 fluid ounces)

– Student must select 3 food items for a reimbursable meal.

– Can count both servings of fruit toward 2 of 3 required food items under OVS

OVS and Fruits

– Planned menu: Waffle Sticks (1 oz eq) Apple slices (1/2 cup) Orange juice (1/2 cup) Milk (8 fluid ounces)

– Student selects the following (in planned portion sizes): Waffle Sticks, apple slices, orange juice, milk: Waffle Sticks, apple slices, milk: Waffle Sticks, orange juice, milk: Apple slices, orange juice, milk: Waffle Sticks, apple slices, orange juice:

OVS and Fruits, example

YESYES

YES

YES

YES

• A larger portion size of grain can count as more than 1 food item:– Example a 2 oz. equivalent muffin = 2 food items

• 2 additional food items needed for reimbursable planned menu of 4 food items

– (Milk and Fruit)

• Student cannot decline the 2 oz. equivalent grain in this example

OVS and Grains

• A larger portion size of grain can count as less than 2 food items:– Example a 2 oz. equivalent muffin = 1 food items– This decision is made by the menu planner

• 3 additional food items needed for reimbursable planned menu of 4 food items

– (Another Grain, Milk and Fruit)

• Student can decline the 2 oz. equivalent grain in this example

OVS and Grains

• Planned Menu: – 2 oz. equivalent muffin (2 food items)– 1/2 cup apples– 1 cup milk

• There are 4 food items, student must take 3 food items in planned portion sizes

• Student selects:– Muffin, apples, milk: – Muffin and apples: – Muffin and milk: – Apples and milk:

OVS and Grains - Example 1

YES

YES

NO

YES

• Planned Menu: – 2 oz. equivalent muffin (2 food items)– ½ cup apples– ½ cup juice– 1 cup milk

• There are now 5 food items. Student must take at least 3 food items.

• Student selects:– Muffin, apples, juice, milk: – Muffin, apples, milk: – Muffin, juice, milk: – Muffin, milk:

OVS and Grains - Example 2

YES

YES

YES

YES

• Allowing students to select 2 of the same grain item:

– Menu planner offers 2 different 1 oz. eq grain items at breakfast:

A student may be allowed to take 2 of the same grain and count as 2 items

At the discretion of the menu planner

OVS Caveats

– Example planned menu (4 food items): 1 cup milk 1/2 cup melon plus 2 grains

– 1 oz eq cereal – 1 oz eq toast

– Melon, milk and toast: – Melon, milk and cereal: – Melon, toast and toast: – Melon, cereal and cereal:

OVS Caveats, continued

YES

YESYES

YES

Student selects 3 items:

• Grains-meat/meat alternate combo items– Counting meat/meat alternate toward weekly grain

requirement Combo item = 2 “grain” food items

– Example: egg sandwich with 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of meat/meat alternate counting as grains = 2 “grain” food items

– Not counting meat/meat alternate toward weekly grain requirement (“extra”) Combo item = 1 “grain” food item

– 3 additional items must be planned– Student may decline the combination– Example: egg sandwich with 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of

meat/meat alternate not counting as grains (extra) = 1 “grain” food item

– Extras must be factored into nutrient requirements

• Traditional Cafeteria

• Grab and Go Cafeteria– Unitized– Self-select

• Alternate Locations– Classroom– Bus– Hallway– Others

Breakfast Meal Service Types

• Pre-plating/Bundling/pre-bagged meals– Can 2 or 3 food items be pre-plated bundled?

– Yes, if there are logistical limitations

» Facilities, space, difficulty with self-serve– Reminder: OVS is never required at breakfast– School Food Authorities (SFA’s) need to remain

consistent with intent of OVS– If some/all of the components are bundled, SFA should

attempt to offer choices when possible– Ideas: fruit basket with different choices, variety of milk

separate from pre-pack, variety bundles Helps minimize food waste and costs

OVS and Meal Service Type

• Meal Pattern Contributions– Food Production Records– Recipes– Child Nutrition Labels and Product Fact Sheets– Nutrition Facts– Ingredient Statement Lists

• Point of Service Monitoring Documentation – Meal Counts

• HACCP/Food Safety Considerations• Special Diet Statements

Recordkeeping Requirements

– No changes from past recordkeeping requirements Recordkeeping requirements same as lunch

– Document “auditable” trail

– Keep records for current year + 3 years

– Plan for logistics of recordkeeping with alternate breakfast meal service types


Meal Pattern Component – Fruit • Must offer 1 cup of fruit daily (5 cups per week) starting in

SY 14-15

• No more than half of the weekly fruit amount offered* may be in the form of juice beginning SY 14-15

– Example: ½ cup of juice offered daily along with ½ cup of whole fruit

*Offered is the amount of fruit a child is able to select, regardless of the number of types of fruit

What’s to come in SY 14-15?


Meal Pattern Component – Fruit – Beginning SY14-15: No limit on substitution,

except the first 2 cups of vegetables offered must be from these subgroups: Dark green Red/orange Beans/peas “Other” subgroups



Starchy

Meal Pattern Component – Grain • All grains must be WGR for SY 14-15

Offer versus Serve Student must select at least ½ cup fruit (and/or vegetable)
