@bettervits: Big changes are coming to school dinners in England 🍎🥦 From 2027, new school food standards will bring more fruit and vegetables, fibre and wholegrains to school meals, while deep-fried food will be taken off the menu. Sweet desserts and processed meats will also be limited, with desserts required to be served alongside fruit. For the first time, breakfast clubs will also have to follow nutrition standards, meaning sugary cereals will be restricted and foods such as pastries and fried eggs will no longer be allowed. The government says the changes are designed to improve children’s nutrition and support their health, concentration, learning and wellbeing. Schools will also be required to publish their food policies and menus online, with monitoring arrangements being developed alongside the Food Standards Agency. The reforms have been welcomed by school leaders, although the Association of School and College Leaders has called for more investment in catering facilities and training for school chefs, as well as clarity around how the new rules will be monitored. The changes will apply to primary and secondary schools across England and will be funded through existing school funding. #Bettervits #healthnews #uknews #schooldinners
