1. What is a Reimbursable Breakfast? Fall 2014

2. Why is it important to serve a reimbursable breakfast? The USDA guidelines requires that each student is offered different foods (or components) per meal. The Oregon Department of Education will only reimburse the district for meals that meet this criteria. These meals are called reimbursable meals.

3. What needs to be offered for a reimbursable breakfast? These are the foods you must have on your service line or breakfast cart every day: Milk – ½ pint or 8 fluid oz. – Only 1% or non-fat plain milk is served at breakfast Fruit – 1 cup of fruit – ½ cup of 100% fruit juice AND ½ cup fruit (either dried fruit or cupped fruit) 1-2 servings of Grain – Example, banana bread (2 servings), cereal (1 servings), graham cracker (1 servings) -OR- 1 serving Grain & 1 serving Meat/Meat Alternative – Example, chicken sausage on a biscuit or egg and tortilla wrap

4. Offer vs. Serve (3 out of 4 rule) Students must choose 3 out of the 4 items offered at breakfast One of those items MUST be ½ cup fruit – Juice OR applesauce OR raisins – students do not have to take both Students may decline food items If the student doesn’t want all 3 items they’ve chosen, they can place the unwanted item on the “no thank you/sharing” table

5. Fruit Options for Students Juice = ½ cup Cupped fruit (Applesauce) = ½ cup fruit Dried fruit = ¼ cup fruit (counts as ½ cup serving) Whole fruit = ½ cup fruit (if you have extras from lunch service) – Examples: ½ fresh apple ½ fresh pear ½ cup grapes
