School Food Standards Update

The Department for Education and Office for Health Improvement and Disparities are updating the legislative framework governing nutritional standards for food provided in schools, including breakfast provision and support for pupils with medical dietary conditions. The policy addresses barriers to compliance with existing standards and considers the financial sustainability of schools amid rising food costs. This is an active policy area with recent focus on physical activity requirements and cost pressures on school meal delivery.
