Nutrition Information

New Nutrition Standards for Idaho Meals

The new Nutrition Standards for Idaho Meals will encourage children to limit unhealthy food and consume the foods that are recommended in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

USDA will be implementing more stringent requirements for school meals in the near future and the Nutrition Standards for Idaho School Meals will give every Idaho school the chance to implement these standards gradually. Some of these changes may require some acclimation.

New Standards will consist of Calorie Range, Trans fat, Pre-fried Foods, Whole Grains, Fruits and Vegetables, Milk, Legumes, Sugar, Sodium, Fiber, Cholesterol, Condiments and Ala Carte.

Calorie Range: As weekly average, School Food Authorities (SFAs) shall be served at a minimum 100% and a maximum 110% of the appropriate level of calories per week to ensure meals offered to children comply with USDA calorie levels.

Trans Fat: SFAs shall strive to eliminate foods containing added trans fats.

Deep Fat Frying: SFAs shall not use deep fat frying as a method to prepare food in Child Nutrition Programs. This includes foods for reimbursable meals as well as ala carte foods sold by the Child Nutrition Departments.

Pre-fried Foods:

Breakfast: SFAs shall limit serving pre-fried, flash-fried or par-fried side items/components to no more than three times per week.

Lunch: SFAs shall limit serving pre-fired, flash-fried or par-fried entrees/meats/meat alternate to no more than three times per week.

Whole Grains: SFAs shall offer one whole grain in all serving lines at least three times per week at breakfast and at least three times per week at lunch.

Fruits and Vegetables:

Breakfast: SFAs shall offer at a minimum, one fruit on all points of service for breakfast. If only one fruit choice is offered at breakfast, juice may only be offered two times per week as the fruit choice.

Lunch: SFAs shall offer at least one fruit and one non-fried vegetable at all points of service each day.

Milk: SFAs shall offer fat-free (skim) and low-fat (1%) at all points of service. SFAs shall eliminate 2% and whole milk offerings.

Legumes: SFAs shall offer legumes (dry beans and peas) at least one time per week.

Sugar: SFAs shall not offer grains (cereals, breads, pastries, cookies, cakes, etc.) with more than 14g sugar per ounce in purchased products (natural sugars such as fruits are exempt). SFAs shall strive to include foods with less than 10g of sugar per ounce at breakfast and lunch.

Sodium: SFAs shall limit sodium to 2mg per calorie.

Fiber: SFAs shall offer meals with at least one gram of fiber per 100 calories.

Cholesterol: SFAs shall limit cholesterol to 75mg for breakfast and 100mg for lunch.

Condiments: SFAs shall not have salt shakers or packets available. SFAs shall not have sugar dispensers or packets available. SFAs shall accurately reflect condiment usage in nutrient analysis and on production records. SFAs are encouraged to use low-fat condiments and/or control portions of high-fat condiments.

Ala Carte: SFAs shall limit ala carte foods that do not meet the Nutrition Standards for Idaho School Meals.
