On 18 August 2021, the Government Buying Standards for food and catering services: nutrition standards: Technical guidance was published to provide catering establishments with practical advice to implement the GBSF standards. A copy of the guidance is attached. We recognise that catering establishments will need to plan menus to include products that meet the revised guidelines. There will be an implementation period of 12 months to ensure compliance, with an extension of three years for the Reducing Salt standard and the sandwich component of the Reducing Saturated Fat Standard.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 07/02/2022 10:08:15 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall attachment 1 file name gbsf-nutritional-standards-technical-guidance.pdf title Government Buying Standards for food and catering

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The existing legal framework for the EU’s School Scheme is being rolled over into UK law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This provides a suitable basis to support future decisions on the longer term approach to school milk rather than include the arrangements in the Agriculture Bill.</p><p> </p><p>We want children to be healthy and well-nourished and regular dairy consumption makes an important contribution to this. The Government is also promoting children’s dairy consumption through, for example, the national free Nursery Milk Scheme, and by ensuring the availability of milk for pupils under the School Food Standards, including free milk for disadvantaged pupils.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 23/10/2018 15:28:52 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
