No OVS for Breakfast
As always, OVS is optional for all grade groups
No OVS means students must take all planned menu items 1 cup milk 1 cup fruit Planned breakfast entrée*
*This will vary daily based on the planned menu. In order to meet weekly grain minimums >1 oz eq of grain must be offered most days.

OVS at BreakfastComponents vs. Items Always offer all three components in at least the
required amounts For OVS, must offer at least four food items at
breakfast Regulatory definition: A food item is a specific
food offered within the food components For purposes of OVS, an item is the daily required
minimum amount of each food component that a child can take 1 cup of milk 1 oz eq of grains ½ cup of fruit (or vegetable)
Students must select at least ½ cup of fruit/vegetable in order to have a reimbursable meal.

OVS: Items vs. Choices Items are specific foods offered within the
three food components. Items are counted in increments of the minimum
daily requirement for each component Minimum required items offered daily:
1 oz eq grains (1 food item) 1 cup fruits ( 2 food items) 1 cup milk (1 food item)
Choices give students the ability to choose from different items.
4
Example: Items vs. Choices Menu = 1 milk, 1 slice toast, 2 fruit choices Fruit choices = ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup
oranges, ½ cup apple slices, ½ cup peaches Student could take 1 milk, 1 toast, and ½ cup
oranges
SFAs should still offer choices, but decide how many items a student can take based on the planned menu
5
OVS: Large Grain Items The menu planner has the discretion to count a
large grain item as more than one food item for purposes of OVS at breakfast e.g. 2 oz eq muffin = 2 food items OR 1 food item
If 2 oz eq grain = 2 food items → at least 2 other food items must be offered for OVS
If 2 oz eq grain = 1 food item → at least 3 other food items must be offered for OVS
Note: the same discretion applies to large fruit items or meat/meat alternate & grain combo items e.g. apple (1 cup fruit) = 2 food items OR 1 food item e.g. breakfast sandwich (1 oz eq english muffin + 1 oz eq m/ma
counting as grain) = 2 food items OR 1 food item

Example: Large Grain Items Examples
School offers 2 oz eq muffin (2 food items), ½ cup apples, ½ cup juice, and milk decline muffin -OR- milk AND 1 fruit choice
School offers 2 oz eq muffin (1 food item), ½ cup apples, ½ cup juice, and milk decline muffin OR milk OR 1 fruit choice

OVS- Grains & Duplicates Allowing students to take two of the
same grain item If a menu planner offers two different 1 oz eq
grain items at breakfast, a student may be allowed to take two of the same grain and count as two items
At the discretion of the menu planner to allow duplicates
