Food Components in the NSLP & SBP 4
Whole Grain Rich (WGR) What is WGR and how do you know if you re serving a WGR food? 5
How to Determine if WGR 1. Ingredient List 2. Health Claims 3. Weight of grains in recipes Foods that qualify as whole grain-rich for the school meal programs are foods that contain 100% whole grain or contain a blend of whole-grain meal and/or flour and enriched meal and/or flour of which at least 50% is whole grain. Whole grain-rich products must contain at least 50% whole-grains and the remaining grain, if any, must be enriched. 6
Ingredient List First ingredient in list = whole grain Batter Ingredients: Water, whole wheat flour, whole grain corn, sugar, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), soy flour, soybean oil, salt, egg yolk with sodium silicoaluminate, ascorbic acid, egg white, dried honey, artificial flavor. First grain ingredient in list.
Health Claims Look for these statements on packaging. Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
