Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024
21.1. A school lunch must contain quantities of each of the food components, as specified by the NSLP regulations. The following chart specifies USDA quantities by age/grade group, modified to reflect West Virginia standards.
21.1.1. Note
that Groups I through IV are minimum requirements, but the quantities specified
in Group V are recommendations. Schools are encouraged, not required, to vary
portion sizes to better meet the food and nutritional needs of students by age.
If a school chooses not to vary portion sizes, it is important to ensure that
the oldest group of students being served is receiving the minimum requirements
for that age group. For any age group of students, more but not less than the
minimum quantity may be served.
21.1.2. The quantities specified in Group V
for students age 12 and over are recommendations, not requirements, and the
minimum requirements for that group are the quantities specified in Group IV
for students age 9 and over.
