Most secondary schools in England fail to meet national standards on the food served to children, a new analysis suggests
Bite Back, a youth activist food charity, found that more than three quarters (76%) of the 391 school menus it analysed from a representative sample of 500 schools were breaching current food standards.
The analysis follows a BMJ investigation published last week that found more than a third (52 of 137) of exhibiting companies at the UK’s biggest school food industry event were supplying products high in fat, salt or sugar.
