4. Offer vs. Serve (why we do it) Minimizes food waste Students may refuse some items and the meal is still reimbursable Defines minimum that students must take A minimum number of components A minimum portion size 4

5. Definitions Food component One of five food groups for a reimbursable meals Example: Grain Food item or Menu Item An actual specific food offered within the five food components Example: Hamburger Items may have more than one component. Hamburger: Meat/Grain 5

6. Components vs. Items Turkey Sandwich 2 components 1 item Pizza 2 components 1 item Pasta 1 Item 1 component 6

7. Offer vs. Serve Whats the Same? Offer the full serving requirement for each component. What has changed? 7 Students may decline two of the five components Students must take a fruit or vegetable and 2 other full components. FYI: It takes 1 cup of Salad to equal ½ cup of vegetable component Creamie, Jello, and Chocolate Pudding, Do not count for anything. Zip, Zero, Nada, Nothing !

8. 8 It is easier to identify the grain, meat/meat alternate and milk.

Easier vs. Trickier
