  21. Questions—Grains • What is your currentexperience in offering whole grain-rich foods on school menus? • What is a serving size for grains? • When multiple choice menus are served, how are minimums and maximums calculated? • Refer to Handout: Whole Grain-Rich Foods and USDA’s SP 30-2012 Policy Memo

  22.

  30. Activity—Offer Versus Serve Reimbursable Meal • The New Meal Pattern guidance requires all serving lines have an easy method of identifying reimbursable meal components in front or near the front of the serving line that constitute the unit priced reimbursable school meal(s). What are some ways to implement this requirement?

  31. Offer Versus Serve • Students must take a minimum of one half-cup of either the fruit or vegetable component. • Only senior high schools are required to have Offer Versus Serve for lunch. • Local SFA can choose whether or not they want to have Offer Versus Serve for their junior high, middle, and elementary schools.

If a student selects less than the offered portion of Meat/Meat Alternate or Grains, it does not count as one of the minimum three required components at lunch. All meals must be set at a single price no matter how many components are declined.
