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 Next 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 9-12

Fruits

½ cup per day ½ cup per day ½ cup per day

Vegetables

Optional in place of fruit



Grains (minimums)

1 ounce daily 7 oz weekly



Meat/Meat Alternates

Optional for grains after 1 oz served



Fluid Milk

1 cup per day 1 cup per day 1 cup per day

Breakfast Meal Pattern for SY13-14

For calorie requirements at breakfast,

there are:

a) Minimums

b) Maximums

c) Both minimums and maximums

d) No calorie requirements

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

• 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

Calories

Grades Calories

K-5 350-500

6-8 400-550

9-12 450-600

For School Year 2013-2014, the planned portion

size requirement for fruit is:

a) ½ cup

b) ¾ cup

c) 1 cup

Grains

• Whole Grain Rich: Foods that contain 100%

whole grain or contain a blend of whole-grain

meal and/or flour and enriched meal and/or flour

of which at least 50% is whole grain.

• Whole grain rich products must contain at least

50% whole grain and the remaining grain must

be enriched.

Definitions

Grain Chart

• Step Two: The food item must meet one of the

following:

– WG content per 1 oz. = 8 grams or more

– Product includes FDA Health Claim:

“Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and

low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the

risk of heart disease and some cancers”

– Ingredient declaration

• 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

• 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

• Breakfast Monitoring Requirements

– Traditional

– Grab and Go

– Classroom

– Alternate Point of Service

• Offer versus Serve

– Definitions

– Timeline

– Requirements

Monitoring Requirements Outline

– Monitoring

Same “point of service” requirements apply as before

– Offer versus Serve

Offer at least 4 food items (specific to OVS only)

Student must select at least ½ cup fruit

– But not until SY2014-2015

Fruit may be split to count as more than 1 food item

Student can only decline 1 food item from what is offered

– Regardless of how many food items offered

– Importance of bundling items into respective components


• 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 counts as 2 food items

Definitions

• “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 1 food item out of 4 food

items offered (at a minimum), taking 3 food items 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 can decline 1 food item

– Depends on number of food items offered

Offer 4 food items, student must select 3

Offer 5 food items, student must select 4

• 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

– Can decline 1 food item from planned menu

4 food items: student must take 3 food items

5 food items: student must take 4 food items

1 food item selected must be at least a ½ cup fruit (or

vegetable), starting SY2014-2015

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

YES YES

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

• Planned Menu: – 2 oz. equivalent muffin

– 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

– ½ cup apples

– ½ cup juice

– 1 cup milk

• There are now 5 food items. Student can only decline 1 food item, so must take 4 food items.

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

– Muffin, apples, milk:

– Muffin, juice, milk:

– Muffin, milk:

OVS and Grains - Example 2

YES

YES

YES

NO

• 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

YES

YES

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

OVS Caveats , continued

• 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
