QUESTION: You as a monitor noted 38 snacks were served and documented that consisted of milk and orange juice. What is the non-compliance?
ANSWER OPTION 1
Failure to comply with the meal pattern
CORRECT!
Great job! The non-compliance is failure to comply with the meal pattern. Milk and juice cannot be served together at snack as a reimbursable snack. This would be the non-compliance and the “condition.”
ANSWER OPTION 2
Milk cannot be served as a creditable meal component for snack
INCORRECT
Milk can be served as a component of a reimbursable snack where juice is NOT the other component. Remember, milk and juice cannot be served together as a snack for a reimbursable snack.
ANSWER OPTION 3
Juice cannot be served in place of whole fruit during the snack meal service
INCORRECT
Not exactly. Juice can be served in place of whole fruit during the snack service. Remember, milk and juice cannot be served together as a reimbursable snack.
