It states that "parent/guardian may provide 1 component for medical or special dietary needs. "What are we supposed to do for students that have allergies to almost every food and the parent must provide all meals? Is this allowed? .


6

If a child has come to the US from another culture (Poland, Cambodia etc.) and refuses to eat the school food, can the parent send in their ethnic food for the child, during an adjustment period?


7

Can children bring in a healthy food (breakfast sandwich) from a restaurant for breakfast? A couple of parents have this as a morning routine – we don’t count the child in the meal count when this happens.


8

Would a rice cake count as a grain component to serve for snack? And can butter be used on whole wheat toast?


9

Is there a one month transition for 2 year olds to switch children from whole milk to low-fat milk?


10

Many staff are on diets for weight loss or low carb for diabetes etc. so they do not eat the school lunch – is this a problem? Many bring their own salad or veg. mix.

Family Style Meal Service


30

Allows participants to serve themselves from common platters of food with the assistance of supervising adults

Goals/Benefits:

Encourages a pleasant eating environment,

Promotes mealtime as a learning experience by allowing children to serve themselves from common platters of food (with assistance from supervising adults) and

Provides educational activities that are centered around food



31

In a reimbursable Family Style Meal:

The minimum portion size for each meal component must be available on the table Ex: if there are 8 children ages 3-5 at breakfast there

must be at least 4 cups of fruit on the table

All meal components must be served on the table at the same time Ex. If fruit is held until after the meal to be served “as

dessert” this meal would not be reimbursable

Children must be allowed to serve themselves Exception for fluids – if served by adults the full

portion must be served to each child



32

In a reimbursable Family Style Meal:

One or more of the supervising adults must participate in the meal. This supervising adult is responsible for actively encouraging each child to serve themselves the full portion of each food.

Child can refuse one food item

Child does not need to take the full minimum portion in order for the meal to be reimbursable

Family style meal service can be targeted at one food item.

How does this work?


33

Use the power of choice
