Can cookies be served as part of the bread/grain requirement in the after-school snack program?
Foods that qualify as grains/breads are foods that are enriched or whole-grain or made from enriched or whole-grain meal or flour. Bran and germ are credited the same as enriched or whole-grain meal or flour. Sweet foods such as cookies or cakes when made with enriched or whole-grain meal or flour and served may be counted in the SNACK program. Sweet snack foods should not be served as part of a snack more than twice a week.
