District Breakfast and Lunch Menus
Dear Mayville Community Schools Families:
The USDA has recently issued new school meal requirements for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. This means our students will see some changes this school year in the meals served at school.
There are five food groups that make up the meal pattern: fruits, vegetables, meat/meat alternate (protein), grains, and milk. Student’s meals must include a selection of three of the five food groups with one being a fruit and / or vegetable selection. A student must select at least ½ cup of fruit or vegetable to be considered a complete meal.
Increase in Fruit and Vegetables
More dark green/orange vegetables will be offered that provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Students will now be required to select ½ cup of fruit or vegetable for their meal to be considered a complete meal.
Grain and Meat/Meat Alternate (Proteins)
Menus will offer specific amounts of whole grains and proteins that meet the requirements.
For some breads and meats students might see smaller size portions.
Many of our grains are already whole grain enriched grains.
Reducing Fats
We will only serve food products and ingredients that contain zero grams of trans fat per serving.
Lower Sodium
We continue to work with food manufacturers to reformulate food products including lower sodium sauces and spreads.
Calorie Ranges
New grade groups for menu planning will be aimed at ensuring students receive age-appropriate portions and nutrients.
