The requirements of Appendix 1 would only be applicable when and if juvenile meals were to be served. If juvenile meals were to be added to the contract at a later date, it would be accomplished via a negotiated bilateral modification between all parties, and Appendix 1 would be applicable to those juvenile meals.
