25. Crediting of Breakfast Items

26. Crediting • Crediting is the term used to determine how various food items contribute to meal pattern requirements for Child Nutrition Programs.

27. Crediting: Grains • Grains credit per quarter ounce equivalent • Ounce equivalent is abbreviated as oz eq • Examples: 0.25 oz eq, 1 oz eq, 1.75 oz eq, etc. • Credit grains by using: • Exhibit A from the Food Buying Guide; OR • Creditable weight of grain in your product • Homemade Recipe • Product Formulation Statement (PFS) from Manufacturer

28. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Exhibit A is available: http://fns.dpi.wi.gov/files/fns/pdf/exa_fbg.pdf • Exhibit A uses the cooked/baked weight of products. • Separated into ‘Groups’ to account for additional added ingredients (sugars, fats, nuts) • Groups A through I contain commonly used grain products by name • Use ‘Oz Eq for Group _’ heading information to determine crediting

29. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Steps to Follow: • Step 1: What is your product? & Is your product Whole Grain-rich? • Step 2: What group is your product in? • Step 3: What is the gram weight or ounce per serving of your product? • Step 4: Calculate ounce equivalency (oz eq) for your product by dividing your product’s gram weight by the grams per oz eq listed in Exhibit A (this information is dependent on what group your product is found in). • Step 5: Round down to the nearest quarter oz eq.

30. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Example: • Step 1: What is your product? & Is your product Whole Grain-rich? – Bread & Yes

31. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Example: • Step 2: What group is your product in? Group B

32. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Example: • Step 3: What is the gram weight or ounce per serving of your product? 57 grams for 2 slices

33. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Example: • Step 4: Calculate ounce equivalency (oz eq) for your product by dividing your product’s gram weight by Exhibit A’s information 57 grams ÷ 28 grams/oz eq = 2.03 oz eq** Step 5: **Round DOWN to nearest quarter oz eq 2 oz eq for 2 slices

34. Crediting: Grains using Exhibit A • Example: • What if you are only going to serve 1 slice? • Divide the serving size (grams for 2 slices) by 2 • Follow Step 4 28.5 grams ÷ 28 grams/oz eq = 1.02 oz eq** Step 5:**Round DOWN to nearest quarter oz eq 1 oz eq per 1 slice 57 grams ÷ 2 slices = 28.5 grams/slice

35. Crediting: Grains Creditable Weight of Grain: Recipe • Use this process when you have an in-house recipe. • First, determine what ingredients in the recipe are creditable grains. • In this example, whole wheat flour and enriched bread flour are the creditable grain for 56 servings.

36. Crediting: Grains Creditable Weight of Grain: Recipe • Next, determine the total weight of flour: • Enriched bread flour: 2 lb 8 oz = 40 oz • (2 lb x 16 oz/lb) + 8 oz = 40 oz • Whole wheat flour: 2 lb 10 oz = 42 oz • (2 lb x 16 oz/lb) + 10 oz = 42 oz • Total: 82 ounces • Found in the Food Buying Guide, determine how many grams of grain you have in your recipe.

37. Crediting: Grains Creditable Weight of Grain: Recipe • Take the total amount and multiply by the conversion factor provided by the Food Buying Guide. • 82 ounces x 28.35 grams/ounce = 2324.7 grams • Divide the grams in the recipe by the number of servings. For our bread, there were 56 servings. • 2324.7 grams ÷ 56 servings = 41.51 grams/serving • Divide the grams/serving by 16 grams of creditable grain/oz eq (new grain reference amount) • 41.51 grams/serving ÷ 16 grams/oz eq = 2.59 oz eq/serving • Round down to nearest quarter oz eq • 2.59 oz eq/serving rounds down to 2.5 oz eq/serving

38. Crediting: Grains Creditable Weight of Grain: PFS • What is on a PFS? • Manufacturer’s Name • Product Name • Portion Size • Description of Creditable Ingredients • Weight of product, as purchased • Total creditable amount of product per portion • Crediting claim • Signature • Date http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnlabeling/food-manufacturersindustry

39. Crediting: Meat/Meat Alternate • Meat/Meat Alternates credit per quarter ounce equivalent • Ounce equivalent is abbreviated as oz eq • Examples: 0.25 oz eq, 1 oz eq, 1.75 oz eq, etc. • Credit meat/meat alternate by using: • CN Labels; OR • Product Formulation Statements; OR • Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs

40. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternateCN Labels What is a CN (Child Nutrition) Label? • A CN label statement clearly identifies the contribution of a product toward the meal pattern requirements. It protects a school from exaggerated claims about a product. • A CN label provides a warranty against audit claims, if used according to the manufacturer's directions.

41. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternateCN Labels What’s on a CN Label? • The CN logo (which is a distinct border), • The meal pattern contribution statement, • A 6-digit product identification number, • USDA/FNS authorization statement, • The month and year of approval.

42. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternatePFS (Product Formulation Statement) • What is a Product Formulation Statement? • An appropriate Product Formulation Statement will provide specific information about the product and show how the credit is obtained citing CN Program resources and/or regulations.

43. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternatePFS (Product Formulation Statement) • What is on a PFS? • Manufacturer’s Name • Product Name • Portion Size • Description of Creditable Ingredients • Weight of product, as purchased & cooked weight • Total creditable amount of product per portion • Crediting claim • Signature • Date

44. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternateFood Buying Guide • If the item is in the Food Buying Guide, no additional CN Label or PFS is required. • For example, cheddar cheese:

45. Crediting: Meat/Meat AlternateFood Buying Guide Example: Continued • One pound of cheese provides 16 servings per purchase unit (1 oz cheese) • Therefore, cheddar cheese credits ounce for ounce • 1 pound (or 16 oz) of cheddar cheese = 16 oz eq m/ma • 1 ounce of cheddar cheese = 1 oz eq m/ma

46. Crediting: Fruit & Vegetables • Credit fruit and vegetable servings in volume measurements • Example: ½ cup, ¾ cup, 1 cup, etc. • Smallest creditable serving = 1/8 cup • Always round down to the nearest 1/8 cup • Use the Food Buying Guide to determine crediting of fruits and vegetables • Did you know? • 1 orange (138 ct) = ½ cup fruit • 1 apple (125-138 ct) = 1 cup fruit • ¼ cup dried cranberries = ½ cup fruit • 1 banana (150 ct) = ½ cup fruit

47. Offer versus Serve (OVS)

48. 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.

49. 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.

50. 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.
