21.1.1. Note that Groups I through IV are minimum requirements, but the quantities specified in Group V are recommendations. Schools are encouraged, not required, to vary portion sizes to better meet the food and nutritional needs of students by age. If a school chooses not to vary portion sizes, it is important to ensure that the oldest group of students being served is receiving the minimum requirements for that age group. For any age group of students, more but not less than the minimum quantity may be served. 21.1.2. The quantities specified in Group V for students age 12 and over are recommendations, not requirements, and the minimum requirements for that group are the quantities specified in Group IV for students age 9 and over.
