  1. Final Rule Guidance Presentation: USDA Meal Patterns for the National School Lunch (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program Director’s Training School and Community Nutrition KDE

  2. Session Goals Provide information to understand: • The required changes to the breakfast and lunch meal patterns and nutrition standards • The implementation timeline • The needed adjustments to achieve and maintain compliance with the final rule

  3. Session Goals After this presentation, sponsors will have: • Suggestions for effectively implementing adjustments to their meal pattern • Sample menus • Additional resource information related to the meal patterns, menu suggestions and implementation guidance

  4. Final Rule (January 2012) • Title • Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (77 FR 4088) • Published • January 26, 2012 • Compliance date • July 1, 2012

  5. Summary of Changes to 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220 Aligns the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the NSLP and SBP to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. As a result, school meals will have: • Increased availability of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat milk • Reductions in the levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat within set calorie ranges by set grade groups

  6. Summary of Changes to 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220 Changes are from the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and Institute of Medicine recommendations with the expected results of: • Enhanced diet and health of school children • Positive steps forward to decrease the incidence of childhood obesity

  7. Proposed Vs. Final Rule • Number of public comments on the proposal was unprecedented and USDA listened. • Between January 13 – April 13, 2011, there were over 133,000 comments!

  8. The last update to school meals standards was over 15 years ago.The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act required USDA to update school meals nutrition standards to reflect the most current dietary science.

  9. Congressional Action • Several changes from proposed rule were required as result of Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112-55) • No maximum weekly limit on starchy vegetables (or other vegetable subgroups) • Evaluate studies on sodium intake/human health prior to implementing second and final sodium targets • Crediting of tomato paste • “Whole grain” definition

  10. Implementation Timeline –Final Rule Details

  11. Meal Pattern Details • All sponsors must use the Food Based Meal Pattern (FBMP) approach for reimbursable lunches by July 1, 2012 • Sponsors may change to the FBMP for breakfasts by July 1, 2012 OR may continue their current breakfast meal pattern through June 30, 2013 • All sponsors must be using the FBMP for reimbursable breakfasts by July 1, 2013

  12. Age/Grade Groups • Same age/grade groups for NSLP and SBP: PS K-5 6-8 9-12 Note: Pre-K student meal patterns remain unchanged until updated in a future rule • In the SBP, the change takes effect in SY 2013-2014 to ease burden on program operators.

  13. Age/Grade Groups, cont. The age/grade groups are now narrower to provide age-appropriate meals. However, the rule allows some flexibility to schools that have different grade configurations. This rule permits a school to use one meal pattern for students in grades K through 8 as food quantity requirements for groups K-5 and 6-8 overlap. However, this will require careful planning to ensure requirements are met for both of these two groups.
