  7. Meal Service Types • Traditional • Student must take all food components or food items • Offer versus Serve • Student may decline food components or food items based on the rules and regulations regarding OVS

  8. Meal Service Types • Family-Style • Food is served in bowls and children help themselves • The required quantity for every child must be available on the table. • Children must take at least ½ cup fruit or vegetable or combination of both. • Children must take three components in the required serving sizes (½ cup F/V = full component rule applies)

  9. Goal of Offer versus Serve (OVS) • Reduce food waste • Permit student choices

  10. Menu Item • Menu item as used in Nutrient Standard Menu Planning is removed. • Menu item now refers to a food or combination of foods as listed on a menu. • A menu item may contain one or more food items and/or food components. • Sandwich: Beef patty plus a bun • Entrée salad: Leafy salad greens and tuna

  11. Food Component • The five required food components for lunch are: • Meats/Meat Alternates (M/MA) • Grains (G) • Fruits (F) • Vegetables (V) • Milk (M)

  12. Food Component • The three required food components for breakfast are: • Grains (G) • Fruits (F) • Milk (M) • Substitution of M/MA for G may be made under specific conditions. • Substitution of V for F may be made under specific conditions.

  13. Food Item • Food items are foods that are offered to provide the food component. • One or more food items may provide the required quantity of the food component. • Fruit juice plus a fresh fruit • Ground beef plus peanut butter/celery • M/MA may be in a maximum of two dishes • M/MA may not be in a dessert

  14. Food Item • When the planned amount of a food component is served in more than one food item, the student must take all of the food items providing that food component to count the component for OVS • Exception: the ½ cup F or V or both = full amount of either the F or V component

  15. General Rules and Regulations • You must offer all food components required for the meal to all students. • Serving sizes must equal the minimum required quantities.

  16. General Rules and Regulations • Students may take a smaller portion but if it is less than • The planned minimum quantity of M/MA or G for lunch, or • The planned serving size of the food item for breakfast Then, it may not count as the component for OVS. If the meal does not meet the requirements for OVS, it may not be claimed for reimbursement.

  17. Planned Minimum Quantity • Example: Spaghetti, Roll • Spaghetti = 2 oz. eq. M/MA, 1 oz. eq. G, and ¼ c V • Roll = 1 oz. eq. G • Possible menu options • Spaghetti & Roll = 2 oz. eq. M/MA and G • or, Spaghetti only = 2 oz. eq. M/MA and 1 oz. eq. G

  18. General Rules and Regulations • The meal must be priced as a unit and the price may not change based on the number of components or food items taken or the size of the portions.

  19. Rules for Lunch OVS • OVS is mandatory at grades 9 - 12 • OVS is optional for Pre K – grade 8 • All lunches must offer the five food components • You must now allow all students K-12 to decline two components at lunch • Students must select at least ½ cup of fruit or vegetable or combination of both

  20. Rules for Lunch OVS • Students must take the full daily required quantity of a component to count it as one of the required components for OVS except: • ½ cup fruit (F) or vegetable (V) (or combination of both) counts as ONE F or V. • But, the second F or V must be the full quantity.

  21. OVS and the ½ cup F/V Rule: K-8 • K-8 daily fruit/vegetable requirements: • ½ cup fruits • ¾ cup vegetables • If the student takes ½ cup vegetable it counts as the full component. • If the student takes ½ cup fruit, they have taken the full component for the second fruit/vegetable. • ½ cup F + ½ cup V = 2 full components

  22. OVS and the ½ cup F/V Rule: 9-12 • 9-12 daily fruit/vegetable requirements • 1 cup fruits • 1 cup vegetables • If the student takes ½ cup vegetable or fruit, it counts as the full component. • If the student takes 1 cup of the other (F or V), they have taken a second full component. • ½ cup F or V + 1 cup F or V = 2 full components

  23. Lunch OVS • All five components in the required daily amounts for each grade group must be offered. • M/MA • Grades K-5 and 6-8 daily minimum is 1 oz. eq. • Grades 9-12 minimum is 2 oz. eq. • G • Grades K-5 and 6-8 daily minimum is 1 oz. eq. • Grades 9-12 minimum is 2 oz. eq. • Milk (M) • Grades K-12 minimum is 8 fluid oz.

  24. Lunch OVS • Fruits • Grades K-5 and 6-8 minimum is ½ cup • Grades 9-12 minimum is 1 cup • Vegetables • Grades K-5 and 6-8 minimum is ¾ cup • Grades 9-12 minimum is 1 cup • K-5, 6-8: ½ cup F or V (or combination of both) may count as the full component for either the F or the V • 9-12:½ cup F or V (or combination of both) may count as the full component for either F or V (or combination of both) but not for both F and V

  25. Lunch OVS • All five components in the required daily amounts for each grade group must be offered. • Students may not be required to take the entrée or grain or milk • Students may be required to take the ½ cup F or V or combination.

  26. Lunch OVS: How it Works For this menu, the hamburger is served as bun plus patty, two food items in one menu item, so both must be taken if either is taken. The combination of three food items that does not qualify as a reimbursable meal is: Hamburger plus Milk = no F or V.
