Meal Pattern Amount of Food Per Week (Minimum Per Day)

Grains (oz. equiv.)

8 – 9 (1) 8 – 10 (1) 10 – 12 (2)

Changes Daily minimum requirement along with

weekly minimum and maximum requirement

Initially, at least half of grains offered during the week must be whole grain-rich (50% whole grain with remainder enriched)

Beginning SY 2014-2015, all grains offered must be whole grain-rich

All grain products offered count toward the daily and weekly total.

No Freebies – After 2012-2013

Battered and/or Breaded Products only can be free during 2012 - 2013

Beginning July 1, 2013, all grain products are credited based on ounce equivalents.

Exhibit A has been updated

Ounce Equivalents

Daily minimum

Weekly maximum

Minimum/Maximum

Until the whole grain content is required on a product label, schools must evaluate a grain product using the two-element criterion.

Element # 1 – must meet portion size requirements

AND

Criteria for Whole Grain-Rich

Criteria for Whole Grain-Rich

Meet at least one of the following

o Whole grains per serving must be ≥ 8 g

o Product includes FDA’s whole grain health claim on its packaging

o Product ingredient listing lists whole grain as first grain ingredient

Product Ingredient listing is the only way to identify whole-grain rich (unless manufacturer supplies additional information)

◦Manufacturers are not required to provide gram weight

◦FDA whole grain health claim is not mandatory

Currently:

“Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.”

FDA Approved Statement

Manufacturers currently may apply

The CN Labeling program is being updated to report the whole grain-rich contributions to the grain component.

CN Labeling

The term “oz eq grains” on the CN Label indicates whole grain-rich

The terms “bread” or “bread alternate” on the CN Label indicates previous program requirements

CN Labeling

At least half of the weekly grains offered must be whole grain until July 1, 2014

Whole-Grain Rich Requirement

Cannot be used to meet fruit components at breakfast

Does not apply to granola bars or fortified cereals

Consist of o(1) grain-type products that have grain as

the primary ingredient,o(2) grain-fruit type products that have

fruits as the primary ingredient

Formulated Grain-Fruit Products

Ever allowed at lunch?

Formulated Grain-Fruit Products

Meat/Meat Alternate Component

OR

Grain Component

But not both components in the same lunch

Enriched Macaroni Products(with fortified protein)

Two grain-based desserts are allowed per week towards meeting the grain requirement.

Desserts

Decrease weekly quantity by approximately 20% (1/5) for each day less than five.

Less than 5-day week

Total amount of enriched or whole-grain meal and/or flour

Divided by

# of servings the recipe yields

Must be ≥ 14.75 grams (2012-2013)Must be ≥ 16 grams (beginning July 1, 2013)

(for Groups A – G)

School Developed Recipe

Bread is one of four components (two different components daily)

One serving of whole-grain or enriched

Afterschool Snack

Puffs, rings, curls, and chex mix are NOT allowed.

Fritos, Sunchips, and flavored Doritos are creditable as corn/tortilla chips (currently)

Rule of thumb – usually part of an entrée = ok
