Introducing the Simplified Food Buying Guide The Simplified Food Buying Guide has been designed to eliminate the need for complicated math steps when determining the amount of food to prepare for your center. The new buying guide will also save center personnel valuable time when completing Menu and Production Records (MPRs). The Simplified Food Buying Guide consists of charts that list foods most often used in child care and adult day care centers. The guide is divided into six sections by different page colors. (1) Grains/Breads – Ivory (2) Fruits – Salmon (3) Vegetables – Green (4) Milk – Blue (5) Meats/Meat Alternates – Pink (6) Index of Foods – Canary The charts in the guide show the amount of food needed for 1–9 servings and 10–100 servings. The serving or portion sizes are given for children 3 to 6 year olds, 6 to 12 years olds, and adults participating in adult day care centers. At the beginning of each chart is the name of the food item, the purchase unit (by can size or pound), and the serving size. The chart also tells what meal or snack requirement the food item meets. _________________________________________________________________

EXAMPLE Beef, Ground Purchase Unit: pound Serving Size: 1 1/2 ounces Meal Component Requirement: Meets one serving of Meat/Meat Alternate at lunch or supper for 3 to 6 year olds. Number Pounds Number Pounds of Meals Required of Meals Required 1 .25 10 1.50 2 .50 20 2.75 3 .50 30 4.00 4 .75 40 5.50 5 .75 50 6.75 6 .75 60 8.25 7 1.00 70 9.50 8 1.25 80 10.75 9 1.25 90 12.25 100 13.50

Page 8: Child Nutrition Services Simplified Food Buying Guide for Child ...

(9/08) 1-4

The number of cans or pounds of food to prepare is rounded off by the following method: .25 = 1/4 can or pound .50 = 1/2 can or pound .75 = 3/4 can or pound .00 = a whole can or pound The figures were rounded in this way in order to make preparing and completing production records easier. Often it is difficult to understand exactly how much food is needed when dealing with complicated decimals. For instance, if you need 1.89 pounds of fresh carrots, that is approximately 2.00 pounds of carrots. All decimals are rounded up. Because the figures have been rounded up slightly, you may notice that for 1–9 servings, the amount needed will be the same. Included with the Simplified Food Buying Guide is a simplified Menu and Production Record (MPR) on page I–7, to use with the food buying guide. Please make copies for your center. A sample on how to complete the MPRs is also included on page 1–9. Remember MPRs are to be filled out on a daily basis. At the top of each form write the center’s name and date. When filling out the MPRs, fill in the following information: (1) Menu. (2) The estimated number to be served. (3) The total amount of food prepared, using the Simplified Food Buying

Guide. Please note for children 6 to 12 years old and adults participating in adult day care centers: Three-fourths (3/4 cup) cup total Fruit/Vegetable component is needed at lunch, supper, and snack.* The Fruits and Vegetables sections have the 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup serving sizes. In order to serve 3/4 cup, you will need to choose two different types of fruits or vegetables at lunch and supper totaling at least 3/4 cup per meal. At snack, the charts will need to be combined for the 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup serving sizes. * However, at lunch and supper, you must serve two different kinds of fruits and vegetables in order to meet the requirement. At snack, only one type of fruit or vegetable needs to be served to meet the 3/4 cup requirement.

How to Use the Simplified Food Buying Guide Follow the steps below to determine how much food to prepare: (1) Find the food item you need in the guide. Food items are divided into five food

components: Grain/Breads, Fruits, Vegetables, Milk, and Meat/Meat Alternates. You may also look for the food item in the Index of Foods section provided at the end of this guide.

(2) Find the chart with the portion size you will be serving. (3) Find the purchase unit you will be using (by can size or by pound). (4) Decide on the number of servings needed for the food item. In some cases it will be

necessary to add together the amounts from each column to get the total number of pounds or cans to serve.

Below are some examples of how to use this guide. Q: How many pounds of ground beef are needed for 55 children at lunch? A: 6.75 + .75 = 7.50 pounds Beef, Ground Purchase Unit: pound Serving Size: 1 1/2 ounces Meal Component Requirement: Meets one serving of Meat/Meat Alternate at lunch or supper for 3 to 6 year olds. Number Pounds Number Pounds of Meals Required of Meals Required 1 .25 10 1.50 2 .50 20 2.75 3 .50 30 4.00 4 .75 40 5.50 5 .75 50 6.75 6 .75 60 8.25 7 1.00 70 9.50 8 1.25 80 10.75 9 1.25 90 12.25 100 13.50

GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR MEETINGTHE USDA MEAL PATTERNFOR CHILDREN AGES 1 THROUGH 12 YEARS

MILKAll milk must be served in fluid form. Whole milk, lowfat milk, skim milk, cultured buttermilk, or flavored milk madefrom fluid milk must meet state and local standards.

1.

GRAINS/BREADSBread, grains, pasta or noodle products must be made of enriched or whole grain meal or flour.1.

Cooked whole grain or enriched pasta or noodle products, including macaroni, spaghetti, rice, bulgar and corngrits, or an equivalent quantity or any combination of these foods, may count as a serving.

2.

Cereal must be whole grain, enriched, or fortified.3.

Cold dry cereal portions must be determined by measuring volume (cup) or weight (ounce), whichever is less.4.

Cookies/bars/granola, multi-grain/fruit grain bars, brownies, and cereal bars may be served as part of a snack amaximum of twice a week.

5.

Two or more kinds of vegetable(s) and/or fruit(s) must be served at lunch or supper. No less than 1/8 cup maybe served to meet part of the fruit/vegetable component.

1.FRUIT/VEGETABLE

It takes six carrot sticks measuring 4 x 1/2” to equal 1/4 cup, it takes four celery sticks measuring 3 x 3/4” to equal1/4 cup; therefore, at snack time, at least two types of raw vegetables must be provided to ensure acceptance ofthe 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup portion requirement.

2.

Dried beans or dried peas may count as a vegetable or meat alternate, but not as both components in the same meal.3.

Full-strength vegetable or fruit juice may meet not more than one-half of the requirement for vegetable(s) and/or fruit(s)for lunch or supper.

4.

Juice may not be served when milk is the only other component at snacks except in certain adult day care centers.5.

Canned soups must be reconstituted one-to-one. One cup reconstituted soup equals 1/4 cup of the fruit/vegetablerequirement. Only vegetable soups may be counted. See the Creditable Foods Guide for more specific information.

6.

Raisins must be supplemented at breakfast and at snacks.7.

MEAT/MEAT ALTERNATEMeat or meat alternate portion sizes include cooked, edible portion only.1.

Nuts or seeds must be combined with another meat/meat alternate at lunch or supper. Only one-half or less of therequirement can be met with nuts or seeds. One ounce equals one ounce meat/meat alternate. NUTS ORSEEDS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN who may choke or not chew well.

2.

Peanut butter and other nut butters should be served in combination with another meat or meat alternate for lunch orsupper.

3.

OTHERAdditional food may be added to improve the nutrition of participating children over one year of age.1.

A cup means a standard measuring cup. One cup equals eight ounces.2.

Exceptions to or substitutions for the meal pattern including milk allergies shall be made only with a written statement froma recognized medical authority that includes the recommended alternate food(s). If it is necessary for a parent to supply aparticular item for medical reasons, the meal may be claimed for reimbursement if the provider supplies at least onerequired meal component.

3.

Any time food is provided by parents for parties or nonmedical reasons, the meal cannot be claimed for reimbursement.4.

Scoops or dishers, ladles, and serving spoons of standard sizes are fairly dependable measures for portioning and serving food quickly. To ensure that you get your expected yield, you must take care in portioning. You might use scoops or dishers for portioning such foods as drop cookies, muffins, meat patties, and some vegetables and salads. The number on the scoop handle or scraper shows the number of scoopfuls to make 1 quart. Table 3 shows the approxi-mate measure of each scoop or disher in cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons.

You may use ladles to serve soups, stews, creamed dishes, sauces, gravies, and other similar products. The sizes of ladles shown in Table 4 are the ones most frequently used in serving food. The higher the number on a ladle, the larger the size. Table 4 Ladle Equivalents Number on ladle

Although the ladles are labeled ounce, they are actually fluid ounce, which is a volume, not a weight, measurement. You may use a serving spoon (solid or perforated) instead of a scoop. Because these spoons are not identified by number, make your own chart that shows the approximate measure of the spoons. Measure or weigh the quantity of food from the various sizes of spoons you use to obtain the number of spoonfuls you will need for the required serving size. Indicate if the spoon is to be filled level, rounded, or heaping. Table 5 Guide for Substituting Cans Can size
