FSMC shall: 1. serve meals on such days and at such times as requested by SFA. 2. offer free, reduced-price, and full-price reimbursable meals to all eligible children participating in SFA’s Food Service Programs. 3. offer free, reduced-price, and paid reimbursable meals to all eligible children, in order to offer a la carte food service. 4. provide meals that meet the meal pattern set by USDA. 5. promote maximum participation in the Programs. 6. provide the specified types of service in the schools/sites listed in Exhibit A. 7. sell on the premises only those foods and beverages authorized by SFA and only at the times and places designated by SFA, and that meet School Nutrition Program requirements. 8. make substitutions in the food components of the meal pattern for students with disabilities when their disability restricts their diet as stated in the students’ Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) or 504 Plans and when the need for the substitution is certified by an appropriately licensed medical practitioner. Substitutions for disability reasons must be made on a case-by-case basis only when supported by a written statement of the need for substitutions that includes recommended alternate foods, unless otherwise exempted by FNS. Such statement must be signed by an appropriately licensed medical practitioner (reference: 7 CFR §210.10(g)(1); and SP 30-2015). The FSMC may make a substitution for those nondisabled students who are unable to consume regular breakfast or lunch because of medical or other special dietary needs. Substitutions for students without disabilities who cannot consume the regular lunch or afterschool snacks because of non-disabling medical or other special dietary needs must be made on a case-by-case basis only when supported by a statement from a licensed medical authority except in the case of fluid milk substitutions (reference: 7 CFR §210.10(g)(2)). There will be no additional charge to the student for such substitutions. (USDA, Accommodating Children with Special Dietary Needs in the School Nutrition Programs Guidance for School Food Service Staff.) 9. make substitutions for fluid milk for non-disabled students who cannot consume fluid milk due to medical or special dietary needs. Substitutions shall be made when a medical authority or student’s parent or legal guardian submits a written request for a fluid milk substitute identifying the medical or other special dietary need that restricts the student’s diet. Approval for fluid milk substitutions shall remain in effect until the medical authority or the student’s parent or legal guardian revokes such request in writing, or SFA changes its substitution policy for non-disabled students. Fluid milk substitutes shall provide nutrients as required by federal and state regulations. There will be no additional charge to the student for such substitutions. 7 CFR § 210.10(g) and 7 CFR § 220.8 10. not directly or indirectly restrict the sale or marketing of fluid milk at any time or in any place on school premises or at any school sponsored event. 7 CFR 210.21(e) 11. must comply with all state and local laws that affect school meal preparation and/or service.
