The school food standards define the foods and drinks that must be provided, those which are restricted, and those which must not be provided by schools, including during breakfasts. The standards are food based and nutritional information of individual products is not specifically required, however schools and catering services must meet allergens law.<\/p>
The standards severely restrict foods high in fat, salt and sugar, including high sugar foods and confectionery. It is for schools and caterers to decide what is an appropriate portion and to balance the food served across the school week including foods provided at breakfast service \u2013 fruit and/or vegetables must be available. The guidance to accompany the standards includes portion sizes and food groups.
