Offer vs. ServeSchool Breakfast Program Department of Public Instruction School Nutrition Team SY 2013-14 Adapted from the April 11, 2013 USDA/SNA webinar PowerPoint
Offer vs. Serve (OVS) for Breakfast • For SY 2013-2014, single food-based approach implemented with three required components (fruit/veg, grains, milk) • OVS is optional for all grade groups at breakfast
Updated OVS Guidance • SP-45-2013 – Updated Offer vs. Serve Guidance for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program in School Year 2013-2014 • Memo: http://fns.dpi.wi.gov/files/fns/pdf/gm_sp_45_2013s.pdf • Attachment: http://fns.dpi.wi.gov/files/fns/pdf/gm_sp_45_2013a.pdf • SP-28-2013 (v.2) – Questions and Answers on the School Breakfast Meal Pattern in SY 2013-2014 • Memo: http://fns.dpi.wi.gov/files/fns/pdf/gm_sp_28_2013v2s.pdf • Attachment: http://fns.dpi.wi.gov/files/fns/pdf/gm_sp_28_2013v2a.pdf
OVS: Components vs. Items • Always offer all three components in at least the required amounts • When using OVS, at least four food items must be offered at breakfast • Students must select at least three food items. • Regulatory definition: A food item is a specific food offered within the food components • For purposes of OVS, the portion of an item is the daily required minimum amount of each food component that a child can take • 1 cup of milk • 1 oz eq of grains • ½ cup of fruit (or veg)* *NOT required in SY 2013-14
OVS: Choices vs. Items • Items are specific foods offered within the three food components. • Items are counted in increments of the minimum daily requirement for each component • Minimum required items offered daily: • 1 oz eq grains (1 food item) • ½ cup fruits (1 food item) • 1 cup milk (1 food item) • 1 additional food item of menu planner’s choosing • Choices give students the ability to choose from different items.
Example: Choices vs. Items • Menu = 1 milk, 1 slice toast, 2 fruit choices • Fruit choices = ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup oranges, ½ cup apple slices, ½ cup peaches • Student could take 1 milk, 1 toast, and ½ cup oranges • SFAs should still offer choices, but decide how many items a student can take based on the planned menu
OVS- Grains (part 1) For the purposes of OVS at breakfast, the menu planner has the discretion to count a large grain item as more than one food item, or they may choose to count it as only one food item. e.g. 2 oz eq muffin = 2 food items OR 1 food item • If the 2 oz eq grain item is crediting as 2 food items, at least 2 other food items must be offered to have OVS. • A student cannot decline the 2 oz eq grain item if only 4 food items are offered, as the student needs to select at least 3 food items. • If the 2 oz eq grain item is crediting as 1 food item, at least 3 other food items must also be offered to have OVS. • A student may decline any of the food items offered, as long as 3 food items are selected.
Examples: Crediting Large Grain Items Notice the difference: • School offers 2 oz eq muffin (2 food items), ½ cup apples, and milk (decline milk or apples) • School offers 2 oz eq muffin (1 food item), ½ cup apples, ½ cup juice, and milk (decline muffin, milk, or a fruit choice)
OVS- Grains (part 2) • Grains-meat/meat alternate combination items • When counting the meat/meat alternate as grains, the combo may count as two food items • Example: egg sandwich w/ 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of m/ma counting as grains = 2 food items • If not counting the meat/meat alternate toward the grains component, the combo is one food item • Three additional items must be offered to have OVS • Student may decline the combination • Example: egg sandwich w/ 1 oz eq of grains and 1 oz eq of m/ma not counting as grains (extra) = 1 food item
OVS- Grains (part 3) • Allowing students to take two of the same grain item • 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 • The menu planner has the discretion to decide whether to allow duplicates • Example: school offer milk and fruit, plus two grains: cereal (1 oz eq) and toast (1 oz eq) • Student could select fruit and two toasts • 2nd toast selected in place of other grain offered (cereal) • Only one item (milk) declined
Pre-plating/Bundling • Multiple components may be pre-plated/bundled together • Logistical limitations on the school system • Facilities, space, young children unable to easily self-serve, etc • Operators encouraged to remain consistent with intent of OVS • Encourage variety within the bundled choices • Helps minimize potential for food waste and increased costs • Example: school gives students different “Plated Specials” (three different main dishes) that all contain milk and fruit • Example: school bundles grains and fruit and offers a variety of milk options
Grain Details NOTE: A 2 oz eq. grain can be planned as 1 food item or 2 food items, at the discretion of the menu planner.
