School Meals: Nutrition
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the nutritional value of meals served in schools.
- Answer
-
The standards for school food are set out in the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014. These regulations are designed to ensure that schools provide pupils with healthy food and drink options, and to make sure that pupils have the energy and nutrition they need throughout the school day.
The Department believes the current standards provide a robust yet flexible framework to ensure that pupils in England continue to receive high quality and nutritious food, that builds healthy eating habits for life. The standards remain under review.
