Save our School Food Standards

Academies do not have to apply the standards which safeguard school food.  There is a real danger of poor quality food creeping back on the menu and junk-food vending machines edging their way back onto school grounds. Help us put pressure on the Government to ensure every child has access to nutritious food at school. The government is now reviewing school food and everything is on the table … including the future of the standards.
