(2) what assessment his Department has made of the achievability of the school nutrition standards iron target. [169573]
Kevin Brennan:
The School Food Trust (SFT) will shortly be publishing ‘A guide to introducing the Government's food-based and nutrient-based standards for school lunches’. It will be available on the SFT website in early December, and hard copies will be distributed to stakeholders including schools, local authorities and catering providers. The guide will explain the standards and give advice on implementing and monitoring them.
The SFT has also published independent reviews of menu planning and nutrient analysis software to help providers consider how to demonstrate compliance with the nutrient-based standards. This information is available on their website at:
The SFT has assessed the achievability of all the nutrient-based standards including the iron target in primary schools by conducting three pilot studies in March. All achieved the standards including the iron target with slight modifications to lunchtime provision. Details of these pilots will be published in the guide. Similar pilots in 12 secondary schools are currently being run; the results will be published next year.
