North Carolina Department of Public InstructionSafe and Healthy Schools Support DivisionSchool Nutrition Services SectionRevised July 2014
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Overview

• All components sufficiently offered
• Students select adequate components for reimbursable meals
USDA Memorandum SP45-2013a
• Food component—– One of five food groups that are part of the
USDA reimbursable meal pattern• Food item—– A specific food offered within the five food
components: baked chicken, applesauce, etc.
Let’s Review Offer vs. Serve Definitions
Definition of “Item”• Regulatory definition: A food item is a
specific food offered within the food components
• For purposes of OVS, an item is the daily required minimum amount of each food component that a student can take.
Schools must offer 5 food components (milk, fruits, vegetables, grains, meat/meat alternates) in the amount required by the meal pattern for the grade group
Students are allowed to decline 2 of the 5 required food components
Fruits and Vegetables are 2 separate food componentsStudents must select at least ½ cup of fruit or vegetable
Offer Versus Serve at Lunch
An update from USDA Memo SP10-2012
• The menu planner may split a component into multiple items. Under OVS, the student must take at least the daily minimum required by the meal pattern.
Let’s look at some examples…..
OVS Example for K-5
Since the minimum daily grains requirement for grades K-5 is only 1 oz eq, the student may select either the dinner roll (1 oz eq) or the spaghetti (1 oz eq) and count as meeting the grains component under OVS. This also applies to the meat/meat alternate component.
The lunch offered: spaghetti sauce with 1 oz eq meat, 2 ounce equivalents of grains: spaghetti (1 oz eq) with a dinner roll (1 oz eq), ½ cup tomatoes, ½ cup beans, ½ cup mixed fruit, and milk
Example for grades 9-12
Since the minimum daily grains requirement for grades 9-12 is 2 oz eq, the student must select both the dinner roll (1 oz eq) and the spaghetti (1 oz eq) to count as meeting the grains component under OVS. This also applies to the meat/meat alternate component.
The lunch offered: spaghetti sauce with 2 oz eq meat, 2 ounce equivalents of grains: spaghetti noodles (1 oz eq) with a dinner roll (1 oz eq), ½ cup tomatoes, ½ cup beans, ½ cup mixed fruit, fresh peach, and milk
For OVS Lunch, the cashier must determine:
1. Did the student select at least ½ cup fruit or vegetable?
2. Did the student select at least 2 additional meal components that meet at least the minimum amount required by the meal pattern for the grade group?

• All components sufficiently planned and offered
• Students select adequate components for reimbursable meal
1. Did the student select at least ½ cup F/V?2. Did the student select at least 2 additional
minimum meal components?
OVS at Breakfast
Three grade groups for planning breakfasts • K-5 • 6-8 • 9-12
Flexibility in menu planning at breakfast • All three grade group requirements
overlap at breakfast • A single menu can be used for all groups
Remember correct menu planning…•OVS is optional for all grade groups •Must offer 4 food items if using OVS
–Milk–Fruit/Vegetable/Juice–Grain–Additional item (i.e. Grain, Fruit, M/MA as substitute
for grain)
OVS Items•A large grain count may count as more than one
food item for purposes of OVS in breakfast –e.g. 2 oz eq muffin = 2 food items
• In addition to the 2 oz eq grain, at least 2 other food items must also be offered to have OVS •Student would not be able to decline the 2 oz eq
grain item Example: –school offers muffin crediting as 2 oz eq, 1/2 cup
applesauce, and 1 cup milk (student may decline applesauce or milk)
Grains Combinations and “extras” with OVS
Grains-meat/meat alternate combination items •When counting the meat/meat alternate as a substitute for grains, a combo breakfast sandwich may count as two food items (i.e. 1 oz eq grain and 1 oz eq grain sub).
•Consistency in menu planning is highly recommended!
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.
It is at the discretion of the menu planner to allow duplicate selection.• Example: Planned menu includes milk and
fruit, plus two grains: cereal (1 oz eq) and toast (1 oz eq). Student could select fruit and two cereals = 3 items (declines the milk).
Grains and OVS:Allowing students to take two of the
same grain item
For OVS Breakfast, the cashier must determine:
1. Did the student select at least ½ cup fruit or vegetable?
2. Did the student select at least 2 additional food items designated by the menu planner?

The menu planner determines the meal components!
Remember….for OVS, the menu planner determines the fourth item which may be a fruit, grain, or grain substitute.
Be sure to refer to the production record, recipes, and information from the menu planner to determine the planned meal.
