3. Focus on implementing changes for SY 13-14 Be flexible and watch for updates from MDE Requirements may change for next year and/or future years Breakfast: The “Phased In” Approach

4. –New Breakfast Meal Pattern takes effect July 1, 2013  Grade groups  4 target nutrients similar to lunch  3 food components required  Minimum of 4 required food items offered with OVS –Only ½ cup fruit required for SY 13-14  No limits on juice in SY13-14 –Emphasis on grains and whole grain rich (WGR)  50% WGR in SY13-14 –Meat/meat alternate can sub for some grain  After 1 oz. daily grain minimum is met –Breakfast is a mandatory part of state review The Breakfast Bottom Line

5. Effective This Fall: SY 13-14 –Meal Pattern  A single Food-Based Menu Planning –New grade groups –Half of weekly grains must be whole grain rich –Nutrient Requirements  Offer weekly grain minimums (no maximums)  Calorie ranges take effect  0 grams of trans fat per serving size State Administrative Reviews 3-year cycle Weighted nutrient analysis of 1 week menus  Includes a full breakfast review Overview and Timeline

6. True or False: The meal pattern grade groups for breakfast are the same as the grade groups for lunch Quick Quiz #1

7. Correspond to School Lunch Program –K-5 - 6-8- 9-12 Flexibilities –Portion size requirements of each grade group must be met  Overlap exists between 3 grade groups  A single menu can be used that meets portion size requirements of all 3 grade groups  Nutrient requirements of each grade group must still be met Grade Groups

8. At least 3 food components/items must be offered in minimum portion size or greater Only applies when OVS is not implemented –Any combination of:  Milk 8 fluid ounces  Grain 1 ounce equivalents  Fruit/Vegetable/Juice  (Meat/Meat Alternate, if at least 1 oz. grain offered first) Possible menu combination without OVS –1 oz equivalent grain, ½ cup fruit, 1 cup milk Breakfast Meal Pattern without OVS
