All food provided by local councils must meet national nutritional standards.
National nutritional standards ensure that children are provided with a
healthy, balanced diet comprising the right quantities of the following:
-
fruit and vegetables
-
bread, other cereals and potatoes
-
meat, fish and alternatives
-
milk and dairy foods
-
foods containing fat and foods containing sugar
These standards have recently been reviewed by the independent School Meals
Review Panel. The panel's report, 'Turning the Tables: Transforming School Food
Minimum Standards for School Meals', recommends redesigning school menus to set
new minimum standards for food in schools and ensuring pupils get essential
nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
The government is currently asking for opinions on this report in a public
consultation, which closes on 31 December 2005.
