Closed petition Place more stringent requirements on school meals that are served at break.

Closed on 26 November 2016

Currently, at our school, the main meals are healthy, the menu varies and the quality of the produce is high, but as not all of the standards on health, quality and variety apply to break food, the same things are served every day. Fruit is there, but this is expensive and placed in a corner.

All school health standards should be applied to all meal servings, along with more defined legislation regarding variety and quality, especially for food served at mid-morning break. This will allow students to eat healthier options, eat a variety​ of food and know what they are consuming, no matter the time, is of high quality.

Food served at mid-morning break includes:
Pizza slices
Belgian Waffles - which are sprinkled in sugar
Donuts
Paninis
Bacon and cheese rolls - where there is 1cm of fat on each piece of bacon
