Chefs Move to School
Its purpose:
The First Lady Michelle Obama is calling on
chefs to get involved by adopting a school and
working with teachers, parents, school
nutritionists, and administrators to help

State of Children’s Health in the U.S.
• Overweight among youth ages 6-17 years in the U.S. has more
•
•
•
than doubled in the past 30 years; this has resulted in an
increase in children with Type 2 diabetes.
Intake of total fat and saturated fat is well above
recommendations.
Added sugars contribute about 20% of total food energy.
56 - 85% of children consume soda each day; shifting from
milk to soda and fruit drinks.

• Healthy, nutritious, and easy to use
• Only for school lunch
• What is the value of USDA Foods?
Value is based on number of meals
served last year - approximately
$0.23.25 cents per meal

Lesson 3: Food Safety
Basics in Schools
Objectives
Participants will be able to:
• Explain the importance of food safety and sanitation in school
•
•
kitchens.
Identify ways to prevent foodborne illnesses through food
safety and sanitation in school kitchens.
Be able to access standard operating procedures.
27
Importance of Food Safety in Schools
• All schools must have a food safety program based on
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP)
principles.
• Schools must have two Health Department reviews per
year, which are posted in a public area and online.
• It prevents foodborne illnesses.
28
What is a Foodborne Illness?
• A disease transmitted to people by food or water.
– There are many types; each has symptoms specific to that illness.
• Foodborne illness outbreak: an incident when two or more people
•
•
experience the same symptoms after eating a common food.
An outbreak must be reported to the local health department.
There are three main categories of hazards or contaminates:
• Biological
• Chemical
• Physical
29
Cross Contamination
Review ways to prevent the 3 forms of cross
contamination in handouts:
– Food to Food
– Hand to Food
– Equipment to Food
• What ideas do you have after reviewing
these handouts to prevent cross
contamination in school kitchens?
30
SOP: Standard Operating Procedure
• School’s food service plan is HACCP-based and utilizes SOPs.
• A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a set of directions
that schools follow to ensure food safety when completing
certain tasks such as cooking chicken, cooling a food, or
sanitizing a work surface. They include:
– Corrective actions
– Monitoring procedures
– Verification procedures
– Record keeping procedures
• SOPs are available on the NFSMI website at:
http://sop.nfsmi.org/sop_list.php
31
Chefs Role in Food Safety
• Role model through proper food safety and
sanitation practices
• Follow SOPs
• Take issues to
kitchen manager
32
Lesson 4: New Meal Pattern
Objectives
Participants will be able to:

components.

New Meal Pattern
Nutrition Standards
Based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, the nutrition
standards for schools include:
• Offering fruits and vegetables every day of the week
• Increasing whole grain-rich foods
• Offering only fat-free or low-fat milk varieties
• Meeting caloric needs based on the age of children
• Reducing saturated fat and sodium
• Eliminating trans fat
34
Food Based Menu Planning
Food Based Meal Planning (FBMP):
• Simplifies school menu planning
• Serves as a teaching tool to help children choose a
balanced meal
• Assures that students nationwide have access to key
food groups recommended by the 2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
• Easily communicates meal improvements to parents
and the community-at-large
