    1. USDA Meal Patterns for the National School Lunch (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) Final Rule Guidance Presentation for Implementation beginning July 1, 2012 FDACS FNW 1 FNW is providing all of the information sponsors will need to implement the final rule for the breakfast and lunch updated meal patterns. This is the first time the meal patterns have been revised in 15 years. It is exciting how these updated patterns will now follow the DGAs, 2010. This will result in Florida’s children receiving great, healthy, nutritious meals.FNW is providing all of the information sponsors will need to implement the final rule for the breakfast and lunch updated meal patterns. This is the first time the meal patterns have been revised in 15 years. It is exciting how these updated patterns will now follow the DGAs, 2010. This will result in Florida’s children receiving great, healthy, nutritious meals.

Meal Pattern Implementation Presentation by Food, Nutrition and Wellness Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services  (800) 504-6609 www.freshfromflorida.com/divisions/fnw/ 2 FDACS FNW Please check our website often for useful information for all sponsors to use to achieve and maintain compliance with the final rule.Please check our website often for useful information for all sponsors to use to achieve and maintain compliance with the final rule.

    3. Session Goals Provide information to understand: The required changes to the breakfast and lunch meal patterns and nutrition standards The implementation timeline The needed adjustments to achieve and maintain compliance with the final rule 3 FDACS FNW FNW’s goal is to provide you with all the tools you need to implement the updated meal patterns. FNW’s goal is to provide you with all the tools you need to implement the updated meal patterns.

    4. Session Goals After this presentation, sponsors will have: Suggestions for effectively implementing adjustments to their meal pattern Sample menus Additional resource information related to the meal patterns, menu suggestions and implementation guidance 4 FDACS FNW This presentation will clearly define: Meal components Portions Nutrition standards and their levels The implementation timelineThis presentation will clearly define: Meal components Portions Nutrition standards and their levels The implementation timeline

    5. Summary of Changes to 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220 Aligns the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the NSLP and SBP to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. As a result, school meals will have: Increased availability of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat milk Reductions in the levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat within set calorie ranges by set grade groups 5 FDACS FNW The final rule aligns the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the NSLP and SBP to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. As a result, school meals will have: Increased availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat milk Reductions in the accepted levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat within set caloric levels appropriate for childrenThe final rule aligns the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the NSLP and SBP to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. As a result, school meals will have: Increased availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat milk Reductions in the accepted levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat within set caloric levels appropriate for children

    6. Summary of Changes to 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220 Changes are from the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and Institute of Medicine recommendations with the expected results of: Enhanced diet and health of school children Positive steps forward to decrease the incidence of childhood obesity 6 FDACS FNW These changes are provisions included in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and are largely based on the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies with the expected results of: Enhanced diet and health of school children Positive steps forward to decrease the incidence of childhood obesity School meals provide great examples of correct portions of healthy foods that students will enjoyThese changes are provisions included in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and are largely based on the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies with the expected results of: Enhanced diet and health of school children Positive steps forward to decrease the incidence of childhood obesity School meals provide great examples of correct portions of healthy foods that students will enjoy

    7. The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act This Act requires school meals to reflect the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans These guidelines are available at: www.cnpp.usda.gov/dietaryguidelines.htm An executive summary is available at: www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/DietaryGuidelines/2010/PolicyDoc/ExecSumm.pdf 7 FDACS FNW

    8. Important Dates The effective date of the final rule is March 26, 2012 and requires no changes to school meals by that date The compliance date begins July 1, 2012 with various items being implemented then and other items over several years 8 FDACS FNW The effective date of the final rule is March 26, 2012, and requires no changes to school meals by that date The compliance date begins July 1, 2012, with various items being implemented then and some over several years as detailed later in this presentation The effective date of the final rule is March 26, 2012, and requires no changes to school meals by that date The compliance date begins July 1, 2012, with various items being implemented then and some over several years as detailed later in this presentation

    9. Financials Sponsors will be entitled to receive a six-cents per lunch performance-based, claimed meal reimbursement increase beginning October 1, 2012 Additional information will be provided later in this presentation 9 FDACS FNW Yes, we anticipate the food cost of the new meal patterns will be higher than current standards. It will be important to review your procurement policies and procedures and make adjustments that might help control food costs. USDA understands sponsors will experience increased costs and is offering some financial assistance through the lunch meals reimbursement claims.Yes, we anticipate the food cost of the new meal patterns will be higher than current standards.

    10. Implementation Timeline – Final Rule Details 10 FDACS FNW This timeline clarifies exactly what changes must be implemented and when. Keep this handy. You will have the opportunity to decide if you will follow the timeline as presented or implement some or all portions earlier than required. Information on the various implementation dates is provided throughout this presentation. Once the sponsor understands the meal pattern changes, then it will be easy to include the student favorites into the breakfast and lunch menus. Therefore we will present the changes one by one and put them together in a workable, effective manner. This timeline clarifies exactly what changes must be implemented and when. Keep this handy.

    11. New Regulations Overview Student favorites are still part of the your healthier breakfast and lunch menus We will be reviewing information needed to achieve compliance Details on each component will be presented The components will “fit together” to provide the complete “picture” of healthy meals 11 FDACS FNW

    12. Meal Pattern Details All sponsors must use the Food Based Meal Pattern (FBMP) approach for reimbursable lunches by July 1, 2012 Sponsors may change to the FBMP for breakfasts by July 1, 2012 OR may continue their current breakfast meal pattern through June 30, 2013 All sponsors must be using the FBMP for reimbursable breakfasts by July 1, 2013 Note: Pre-K student meal patterns remain unchanged until updated in a future rule 12 FDACS FNW To clarify, sponsors using previous meal patterns, including enhanced and nutrient standards will now all use the FBMP for lunch beginning July 1, 2012 and breakfast no later than July 1, 2013.To clarify, sponsors using previous meal patterns, including enhanced and nutrient standards will now all use the FBMP for lunch beginning July 1, 2012 and breakfast no later than July 1, 2013.

    13. Meal Pattern Details – Breakfast and Lunch Breakfast and Lunch Grade Groups are changed 13 FDACS FNW Grade groups are the same for both breakfast and lunch. Nutrition Standards for each grade group have been established and must be met even in schools/programs with multiple grade groups in the same site. Implementation guidance is provided later in this presentation.Grade groups are the same for both breakfast and lunch.

    14. Implementation Timeline – Final Rule Details 14 FDACS FNW We are starting to see the pieces “fit in place” as we present the final rule information. We discussed the one approved meal pattern and the three grade groups for both breakfast and lunch. Both of these requirements are effective July 1, 2012 for lunch and July 1, 2013 for breakfast.

    15. Breakfast Meal Pattern 15 FDACS FNW The SBP meal pattern is now like the SFSP meal pattern but for Meats/Meat Alternates (M/MA) – there is no separate meat/meat alternate component in the SBP. But beginning July 1, 2013, schools may substitute 1 oz of M/MA for 1 oz equivalent of grains after the minimum daily grains requirement is met. Note: the names “Component” or “Food Group” are interchangeable.The SBP meal pattern is now like the SFSP meal pattern but for Meats/Meat Alternates (M/MA) – there is no separate meat/meat alternate component in the SBP.

    39. Lunch Meal Pattern 39 FDACS FNW Note that vegetable subgroup portions are the same for the K-5 grade group and 6-8 and several subgroups are larger portions for the 9-12 grade group. A week’s weekly requirement does not need to be met in one serving on one day and may be spread over the week. For example 1/2 cup of carrots may be served on Monday and ¼ cup of sweet potatoes on a Thursday and the two will offerings will meet the ¾ weekly requirement.

    44. Lunch Meal Pattern Processed Tofu Products - Links/Sausages Creditable with 5 grams of protein from tofu portion – not on nutrition label Request/use product made under CN Labeling Program Recipes or items containing tofu and not recognizable or used as a “meat alternate” is not creditable (e.g., tofu blended into soup) for any component 44 FDACS FNW When considering processed tofu products such as links and sausages made from tofu as meat alternates for the reimbursable meal, the tofu ingredient must contain 5 grams of protein. This level of detail is not shown on a nutrition facts panel as other ingredients in the link/sausage, etc. may also have protein from a grain/other vegetable source. Therefore, the most appropriate way to ensure that the product meets Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) requirements is to request that the product be manufactured under the CN Labeling Program following a Federally approved quality control program. Products made with tofu that are not easily recognized as meat substitutes, would not contribute to any component of the reimbursable meal and do not meet the customary and usual function of the meat/meat alternate component. For example, soft tofu blended into a recipe so that it is not recognizable as a meat like product such as a soup or a sauce or does not represent a meat substitute such as tofu based noodles does not qualify as a meat alternate. Sponsors should way the nutritional benefits and costs of using these non-link/sausage products.When considering processed tofu products such as links and sausages made from tofu as meat alternates for the reimbursable meal, the tofu ingredient must contain 5 grams of protein.

This example shows the maximum amounts of saturated fat allowed when meeting the minimum and the maximum calorie levels Saturated fat will be limited to the 3.8 grams if the weekly breakfast calorie average is 350

    63. Nutrition Standards – Trans Fats New trans fat requirement - trans fat is limited to naturally occurring in foods (mainly beef, lamb and dairy products made with whole milk) Nutrition Facts Label or manufacturer’s specifications must state zero grams of trans fat per serving (less than 0.5 gram per serving) and is a daily requirement 63 FDACS FNW

    64. Nutrition Standards – Trans Fats Menu items containing trans fat added in manufacturing or processing are not allowed Many food manufacturers will offer trans fat-free foods in the near future Begins: July 1, 2012 for Lunch July 1, 2013 for Breakfast 64 FDACS FNW

    72. Portion Requirements– Combining Grade Groups Schools often have grades K–8, 4–6, etc. Sponsors are required to maintain the nutrition standards for each grade group Careful menu planning, serving and documentation are needed 72 FDACS FNW When possible, students may be served the portions specified for their grade group. When all students receive the same portion, it is the same requirement for both grade groups OR the combined, overlapping portion When possible, students may be served the portions specified for their grade group. When all students receive the same portion, it is the same requirement for both grade groups OR the combined, overlapping portion

    73. Portions Combining Grade Groups at Lunch When all students receive the same portion, the overlapping portion is used. For example, at lunch for grades K–8 portions: ½ cup Fruits ¾ cup Vegetables 1 cup Milk 8-9 Grains/week—the overlap of the 8-9 oz. eq. for grades K–5 and the 8-10 oz. eq. for grades 6–8 9-10 M/MA/week—the overlap of the 8-10 oz. equivalent for grades K–5 and the 9-10 oz. equivalent for grades 6–8 73 FDACS FNW Portions are the same for Fruits, Vegetables and Milk for both Grade Groups The overlapping portion must be served for Grains and M/MA because they vary between Grade GroupsPortions are the same for Fruits, Vegetables and Milk for both Grade Groups The overlapping portion must be served for Grains and M/MA because they vary between Grade Groups

    74. Portions Combining Grade Groups at Breakfast When all students receive the same portion, the overlapping portion is used. For example, at breakfast for grades K–8: 1 cup Fruits (effective July 1, 2014) 1 cup Milk 8-10 Grains/week — the overlap of the 7-10 oz. equivalent for grades K–5 and the 8-10 oz. equivalent for grades 6–8 74 FDACS FNW This is the results of combining Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8 for breakfast. It is permissible to combine Grade Groups 6-8 and 9-12This is the results of combining Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8 for breakfast. It is permissible to combine Grade Groups 6-8 and 9-12

    75. Nutrition Standards – Combining Grade Groups at Lunch When all students receive the same portion, the nutrition standards for each grade group must be met Combined K–8 nutrition standards for lunch are: 600–650 calories—the overlapping levels = 6.6–7.2 grams saturated fat (based on the calorie level for 1 week)—the overlapping levels = 640 mg. Sodium (when final target implemented)—the lower level 0 added trans fat Note: Grade Groups 6–8 and 9–12 do not overlap for grains and calories, so separate portions and nutrition standards must be provided for lunch 75 FDACS FNW Note the nutrition standards for each of the grade groups in the same school must be met Calories have minimum and maximum standards for each Grade Group, therefore the overlapping levels of the minimums and maximums for the two grade groups must be met If combining Grade Groups, sodium must not exceed the lower nutrition standard. For example, the final target for sodium is 430 mg. for Grades K-5 and 470 mg. for Grades 6-8, but the combined standard must not exceed the lower level, the 430 mg. The nutrition standard for saturated fat must not exceed 10% of the 1 week average calories within the overlapping calorie levels For example, saturated fat may not exceed 6.9 grams when the average calories are 625 for a week of combined Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8 Note the nutrition standards for each of the grade groups in the same school must be met Calories have minimum and maximum standards for each Grade Group, therefore the overlapping levels of the minimums and maximums for the two grade groups must be met If combining Grade Groups, sodium must not exceed the lower nutrition standard. For example, the final target for sodium is 430 mg. for Grades K-5 and 470 mg. for Grades 6-8, but the combined standard must not exceed the lower level, the 430 mg. The nutrition standard for saturated fat must not exceed 10% of the 1 week average calories within the overlapping calorie levels For example, saturated fat may not exceed 6.9 grams when the average calories are 625 for a week of combined Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8

    76. Nutrition Standards – Combining Grade Groups at Breakfast When all students receive the same portion, the nutrition standards for each grade group must be met Combined K–8 nutrition standards for breakfast are: 400–500 calories—the overlapping levels = 4.4–5.5 grams saturated fat (based on the calorie level for 1 week)—the overlapping levels = 430 mg. Sodium (when final target implemented)—the lower level 0 added trans fat Additional information on nutrition standards for separate and overlapping Grade Groups follows 76 FDACS FNW This are the nutrition standards for combined Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8 for breakfastThis are the nutrition standards for combined Grade Groups K-5 and 6-8 for breakfast

    77. Nutrition Standards – Separate or Overlapping Grade Groups Using the separate Grade Group levels allows greater flexibility of providing the week’s average within the minimum to maximum levels. 77 FDACS FNW Note the range is 100 calories for the separate Grade Groups in this example and only 50 calories for the combined calorie nutrition standardNote the range is 100 calories for the separate Grade Groups in this example and only 50 calories for the combined calorie nutrition standard
