School Menus Fail Food Standards

School Menus Fail Food Standards

A large majority of secondary school menus are reportedly breaching nutritional guidelines.

New industry findings suggest that three-quarters of secondary school menus are failing to meet established food standards. The data highlights a significant gap between nutritional requirements and the actual offerings provided to students.

According to a report from The Grocer, these violations are particularly common during breakfast and break times. Examples of non-compliant items include the sale of branded confectionery and crisps.
