Offer vs Serve

At breakfast, we are required to offer four components:

  • 1-2 ounce equivalent servings of bread/grain

  • ½ cup serving of fruit

  • ½ cup serving of 100% juice

  • Milk

Students are required to take a serving of a fruit to be counted as a reimbursable meal.

Offer vs. serve at breakfast requires students to take three of the four components. At minimum, we can count a breakfast as reimbursable if a student takes either milk or one 4 oz. juice serving with a combination of the bread/grain and meat components. Without being charged for an extra item, students can take a carton of milk, 4 oz. juice/fruit and a combination of the bread/grain and meat components.

At lunch, we are required to “offer” students five components with each meal. Students are required to take three of those five components in order for us to count it as a “reimbursable meal”. Students are also required to take a serving of a fruit or vegetable for us to count it as a reimbursable meal.
