In accordance with Federal Law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin,
Grain quantities are based on ounce equivalencies (oz eq) consistent with the DGAs and My Plate
All of the components and serving sizes required were established through an extensive review of 24 nutrients.
Make it Healthy! Offer food items that
are low in added; sugars sodium saturated fat
How is the Bread Grain Component Measured? The term “oz eq” or “oz eq grains” is
used for crediting a Grain/Bread component. This indicates that the product meets the whole grain-rich criteria when seen on a CN Label.
The terms “bread” or “bread alternate” on a CN Label indicates the product meets previous program requirements for grain/breads.
Minimum Serving Size CriteriaFor SY 2012-2013, SFAs
will be allowed to use the old guidance to credit grain products based on 14.75 g of creditable grains per serving or may use the updated Ex A
Section 3 of FBG
Beginning July 1, 2013, All grain products must be credited based on per ounce equivalent (oz eq) standards. You may find these standards in the Grain Requirements for the NSLP and SBP memo (SP30-2012)
29.64
Minimum Serving Sizes Criteria
One quarter of an oz eq is the smallest amount allowable to be credited toward the grain component
1.72 oz eq would be counted 1.50 oz eq .24 oz eq would not be credited
Multiple grain offerings can count for the minimum daily requirement (as long as the student is able to select all that would account for that grain )
Example of crediting
.75 oz eq + 1.75 oz eq = 2.5 oz eq
The oz eq may be determined by eitherusing the
weights or volumes listed in Exhibit A
the SFA may require documentation from a mfr certifying the grams of creditable grain per portion for determining the oz eq from a given product.
Minimum Serving Sizes CriteriaExhibit A: School Lunch and Breakfast (FBG)
contains the equivalent minimum weights for a wide variety of purchased food items to meet the oz equivalent criteria
Child Nutrition Administrators may use Exhibit A instead of calculating the actual amount of grains in a product since it provides the equivalent minimum weights to provide one oz eq of grains
Exhibit A provides oz equivalent information for a range of products commonly offered in schools
Exhibit A: School Lunch and BreakfastWhole Grain-rich Ounce Equivalency (Oz Eq)
Requirements for School Meal Programs
Groups A-G; whole grain must be at least 8 grams or more
Groups H and I of Exhibit A ; offered to credit oz eq
Ounce Equivalent Standards Baked Goods- 16 grams to provide 1 oz eq credit
Breads, Biscuits, Bagels
Cereal Grains- 28 grams (approx 1 oz by wt) of dry product, the cooked volume equivalent is ½ cup
Oatmeal, Pasta, Brown Rice
RTE cereal- 28 grams or 1 oz of product is considered an ounce equivalent 1c of flakes or rounds, 1 ¼ c puffed cereal, ¼ c granola
Math Time! The contribution of grains in a recipe or product
formulation for items may be calculated to determine the number of oz eq grains the recipe provides based on 16 g of grain ingredients per oz eq.
The crediting is determined by: Grams whole-grain meal and/or flour
OrGrams Whole-grain enriched meal and/or flour
Number of servings the formulation or recipe yields
breakfast cereal must list a whole grain as the primary ingredient and the RTE cereal must be fortified
If a grain product includes enriched ingredients or grains, the product must meet the FDA’s standards of identity for enrichment
Bran and Germ are not creditable in school meals
Non-creditable grain ingredients in products at very low levels used as processing aids are allowable at levels less than 2%
Battered or Breaded Products
During SY 2012-13, battered and breaded products offered will not need to be counted toward the maximum weekly grain requirements.
Beginning July 1, 2013, ALL grains including the battered and/or breaded products offered must be counted towards the weekly grain requirement
Minimum and Maximum Grain RequirementsSchools must offer the daily minimum
requirement of 1 serving for all grades and weekly serving ranges of grains that provide at least the minimum number of servings while not exceeding the maximum number of servings.Grades K-5: 8 to 9 servingsGrades 6-8: 8 to 10 servingsGrades 9-12: 10 to 12 servings

Grains Requirements for School LunchDuring SY 2012-2013, battered and/or
breaded products offered will not need to be counted toward the maximum weekly grain requirements in the meal pattern.
Beginning July 1, 2013 (SY 2013-2014), all grains which are part of battered and/or breaded products offered must be counted towards the weekly grain requirement.
Grains Requirements for School LunchAt least HALF of grains offered at lunch
must be whole grain-rich for 12-13 and 13-14 SY’s
By 14-15 SY ALL grains offered at LUNCH must be whole-grain rich
Grain Requirements, Grain Based Desserts
Only two creditable grain-based desserts are allowed PER WEEK at LUNCH
What is a creditable grain-based dessert?
The amount of grain in the product must be adequate to provide a serving of grain according to the current FBG chart during 2012 or according to the memo.
Common Whole GrainsCracked WheatCrushed WheatWhole Wheat FlourGraham FlourEntire Wheat FlourBromated Wheat FlourWhole Durum Flour Bulgur, made from cracked wheat, a
whole grain, will be labeled “bulgur (cracked wheat).” If labeled, just “bulgur”, further documentation must be obtained
Products that are NOT Whole Grains:
Flour, white flour, wheat flour, all-purpose flour
Enriched flour, unbleached flour, bromated flour
Enriched unbleached flour, enriched bromated
Instantized flour, phosphated white flour,Cake flour, self-rising flour, bread flour

Formulated Grain-Fruit Products:Individually wrappedIncludes this label information: “This
product conforms to U.S.D.A. Child Nutrition Programs specifications. For breakfast, it meets the requirements for fruit/vegetable/juice and one bread/bread alternate.”
These formulated grain-fruit products
will no longer be allowed to count toward the fruit requirement.
