School Nutrition Toolbox: Offer Versus Serve

Offer versus serve (OVS) allows students to decline some of the food offered as part of school breakfast or lunch while still having a reimbursable meal. OVS was instituted to reduce food waste and to allow students to choose the foods they want to eat. Because students may decline some selections under OVS, training is needed on what constitutes a reimbursable lunch and breakfast. This module provides information that is useful for all levels of school food service personnel about the requirements of OVS. Must log in to access module. To log in as a guest, create an account and enter "7" nine times in the AUN/PEARS section.
