Extra Items • Extra items may be offered if desired
• These items are not counted toward the reimbursable meal
• They must be included in the calorie/sat fat count for the week

Offer vs. Serve• Students do not have to select a fruit
or vegetable for SY 13/14
• Student may turn down only one item even if more than 4 are offered.– Example:
• Cereal, toast, juice, apple, milk = 5 items. Student can turn down only one.
