1
For children two years of age and older, milk must be low-fat (1%) or fat free (skim). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children 12 months through 23 months
(1 year olds) be served whole milk; however, this is not a requirement.
2
Juice may not be served if milk is the only other component at snack.
3
Peanut butter may not be the only meat/meat alternate served for lunch or supper; another meat/meat alternate must be served with peanut butter for the meal to be creditable.
4
Nuts and seeds may meet only one-half of the total meat/meat alternate serving and must be combined with another meat/meat alternate to fulfill the requirement.
5
A minimum of 1/8 cup of each must be served.
