School Meals: Nutrition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what data her Department holds on the proportion of (a) healthy and (b) unhealthy food provided to (i) schools and (ii) school caterers.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
The department does not hold data on the proportion of healthy and unhealthy food provided to schools and school caterers.
The standards for school food are set out in the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014, known as school food standards. Schools are responsible for their school meals service and governing boards have a responsibility to ensure compliance with the standards. The standards can be found here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1603/contents/made.
