Meal times for breakfast and lunch must follow the designated times in the SBP and NSLP regulations. According to 7 CFR, Part 220.2(b), breakfast must be served to a child in the morning hours. Lunch must be offered between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., as provided in 7 CFR, Part 210.10(f). There should be at least two hours between the end of breakfast and the beginning of lunch. Supper meals must begin before 7:00 p.m. and end by 8:00 p.m. Snacks must be evenly and adequately spaced between other meal service times to minimize food waste and ensure good nutrition practices.
