GILMAN, Circuit Judge.

The Secretary of Labor appeals the district court's determination that Collis Foods's meal-credit plan, under which a uniform amount is deducted from each employee's cash wages in exchange for meals, does not violate the minimum-wage provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219 (the "FLSA").
