  1. SFSP Training forOffer vs. Serve (OVS) Non-School Sponsors SFSP Meal Pattern Spring 2017

  2. OVS - What is it? • An optional meal service that allows children to decline some food items they do not want or will not eat. • All food must still be prepared and offered, but • This helps to eliminate waste for many sponsors • Menu planning may be different than the basic meal pattern requirements • Training for food service staff is vital for ensuring compliance with OVS requirements

  3. SFSP Breakfast • SFSP Breakfast Meal Pattern Requirement • 1 serving grain/bread • ½ cup fruit or 4 floz 100% fruit juice • 1 cup milk SFSP Breakfast OVS Requirement To use OVS at breakfast a 4th item from the fruit/vegetable, bread/grain, or meat/meat alternate components must be added to the menu

  4. SFSP Breakfast • Combination items may count as two offered items as long as the item is comprised of 2 different food items • Example: pancake/sausage on a stick, sausage biscuit • 2oz equivalent items may not count as 2 offered items • If a CN label says that it counts as 2 ozeq of grain, the food item may only count as 1 offered item

  5. Breakfast • Example: • 1 piece of toast (meets 1 serving bread requirements) • 1 bowl of cereal (additional item to meet 4 item requirement) • ½ cup peaches (meets ½ cup fruit serving) • 1 cup chocolate milk (meets 1 cup milk serving) The child must take at least 3 of the 4 offered items, but can take all 4 if desired

  6. Breakfast • Example • 1 piece of toast • ½ cup applesauce • ½ cup grape juice • 1 cup milk This menu is acceptable because it offers 4 items from the required meal pattern components.

  7. Breakfast • Example: • BreakfastBurrito (1 grain and 1 meat) • 1 apple • 1 cup milk This menu is acceptable because the breakfast burrito counts as 2 items and contains one serving of grain and one serving of meat/meat alternate

  8. Breakfast • Example • 1 piece of toast • 1 cheese stick • ½ cup orange juice • 1 cup milk This menu is acceptable because it offers 4 items. The 1 serving grain requirement is met with the toast and the cheese stick is counted as a 4th item.

  9. Breakfast • Example • 1 biscuit • ½ cup carrots • ½ cup fruit punch (100% juice) • 1 cup of milk This menu is acceptable because it offers 4 items and covers the meal pattern requirements.

  10. Breakfast • Example (Not acceptable to use for OVS) • 2 pieces of toast • ½ cup pineapple • 1 cup milk This menu is not acceptable for use in OVS because the pieces of toast are the same type of food, the four offered items must be different foods.

  11. Breakfast • Example (Not Acceptable for OVS use) • 1 Pillsbury Frudel (2oz grain equivalent) • ½ cup orange juice • 1 cup milk This menu is not acceptable for SFSP OVS because each menu item is counted separately, regardless of grain/bread equivalent contribution. This menu only offers 3 items.

  12. Breakfast • Example (not acceptable) • 1 boiled egg • ½ cup grapes • ½ cup orange juice • 1 cup of milk This menu is not acceptable for use in SFSP because it contains no grain item.

  13. Breakfast It is important that those counting meals understand OVS requirements: • Students must take 3 of the 4 items offered • Items are counted individually and there are no grain items that count as 2 items taken, but combination foods can be counted as 2

  14. Lunch • Let’s switch to SFSP Lunch Requirements! • The SFSP regular meal pattern: • 1- serving bread/grain • 2 oz meat/meat alternate • 2 servings of fruit/vegetable totaling ¾ cup • 1- 8oz serving of milk • You must offer 5 items from 4 components:

  15. SFSP Lunch using OVS • SFSP OVS Requirement- Children must take 3 items from 3 different components • Here’s the change- OVS requirements at lunch refer to components not items • The 2 servings of ¾ cup fruit/vegetable only count as 1 component • A child cannot take ½ cup pineapple, ¼ cup carrots and a package of crackers to count as a meal

  16. Lunch • Menu Offered: • 1 pbj sandwich (2 slices of bread, 4T peanut butter, and jelly) • ½ cup of broccoli • ¼ cup frozen fruit juice bar • 1 cup of milk

  17. Lunch • The child takes: • 1 pbj sandwich (2 slices of bread, 4T peanut butter) • 1 cup of milk Yes, this meal counts because the sandwich counts as 2 components and the milk is the 3rd. Participants are not required to take a fruit of vegetable in SFSP.

  18. Lunch • The child takes: • ½ cup of broccoli • ¼ cup frozen fruit juice bar • 1 cup of milk This is not a meal because the child has taken 3 items, but only 2 components. Fruit/Vegetable is only considered one component in the SFSP meal pattern.

  19. SFSP OVS at Lunch “Is this a Meal?”The Child Chooses:

  20. Yes! • This is an acceptable meal because the child has chosen 4 of the 5 offered items and at least 3 of the 4 components.

  25. SFSP OVS at Breakfast “Is this a Meal?”

  26. No! Under SFSP meal pattern rules, one grain food item cannot count as 2, even if the ounce contribution is 2 according to the CN label. An additional item must be taken to count as a meal.

  27. Is this a meal?

  28. Yes! • Although only 2 items were taken, the pizza may count as 2 because it is a combination item and contains different food items from different components. Additionally, students are not required to take a fruit at breakfast under SFSP OVS rules.
