School meals
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.
