Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance his Department provides to schools on providing fortified cereals with high levels of sugar.

The school food standards define the food and drink that must be provided, those which are restricted, and those not to be provided by schools, including during breakfasts. The standards are food based and nutritional information of individual products is not specifically set out, however schools and catering services must meet allergens law. The standards severely restrict foods high in fat, salt and sugar, including high sugar foods and confectionery. The guidance to accompany the standards includes portion size and food group which is available on the School Food Plan website at: www.schoolfoodplan.com .
