@rhitrition: SCHOOL FOOD STANDARDS: THE UPDATES 👧🧒 The UK Government is consulting on new School Food Standards, aiming to better reflect current nutrition science, and it’s a positive step forward. Here’s what’s changing 👇 🥣 New breakfast standards
Clear rules on what can be served before school, with limits on sugary cereals and a move away from pastries and processed options 🌾 More fibre-focused meals
Wholegrains, pulses and vegetables taking centre stage (including veg with every main meal + more fruit-based desserts) 🚫 Less sugar
Desserts limited and stricter rules on drinks, with a shift towards water, milk and unsweetened options 🍟 Tighter limits on ultra-processed foods
Less deep-fried food, processed meats and heavily refined snacks This is a really welcome shift, especially the focus on fibre, whole foods and reducing free sugars. But as always, how these standards are implemented matters just as much as what’s written on paper. For real impact, they need to be practical, supportive and accessible for schools and families alike. #schoolfood #childnutrition #publichealth
