Schools: Food

Asked by Damian HindsConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 22 April 2025UIN 44433

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she next plans to review her Department's guidance on school food standards.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

It is important that children eat nutritious food at school and the department encourages schools to have a whole-school approach to healthy eating. The School Food Standards define the foods and drinks that must be provided, that are restricted and those which must not be provided.

We keep our approach to school food and its guidance under continued review.
