Changes Daily minimum requirement along with
weekly minimum and maximum requirement
Initially, at least half of grains offered during the week must be whole grain-rich (50% whole grain with remainder enriched)
Beginning SY 2014-2015, all grains offered must be whole grain-rich
All grain products offered count toward the daily and weekly total.
No Freebies – After 2012-2013
Battered and/or Breaded Products only can be free during 2012 - 2013
Beginning July 1, 2013, all grain products are credited based on ounce equivalents.
Exhibit A has been updated
Ounce Equivalents
Daily minimum
Weekly maximum
Minimum/Maximum
Until the whole grain content is required on a product label, schools must evaluate a grain product using the two-element criterion.
Element # 1 – must meet portion size requirements
AND
Criteria for Whole Grain-Rich
Criteria for Whole Grain-Rich
Meet at least one of the following
o Whole grains per serving must be ≥ 8 g
o Product includes FDA’s whole grain health claim on its packaging
o Product ingredient listing lists whole grain as first grain ingredient
Product Ingredient listing is the only way to identify whole-grain rich (unless manufacturer supplies additional information)
◦Manufacturers are not required to provide gram weight
◦FDA whole grain health claim is not mandatory
Currently:
“Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.”
FDA Approved Statement
Manufacturers currently may apply
The CN Labeling program is being updated to report the whole grain-rich contributions to the grain component.
CN Labeling
The term “oz eq grains” on the CN Label indicates whole grain-rich
The terms “bread” or “bread alternate” on the CN Label indicates previous program requirements
CN Labeling
At least half of the weekly grains offered must be whole grain until July 1, 2014
Whole-Grain Rich Requirement
Cannot be used to meet fruit components at breakfast
Does not apply to granola bars or fortified cereals
Consist of o(1) grain-type products that have grain as
the primary ingredient,o(2) grain-fruit type products that have
fruits as the primary ingredient
Formulated Grain-Fruit Products
