Can desserts be sold as individual items at lunchtimes?
The Government’s food-based standards relate to provision rather than what is served to or consumed by an individual. We are aware that secondary schools operate canteen style catering systems whereby food and drink items are sold individually. This means that children who bring packed lunches could then buy a dessert as well. It would be up to schools to develop their own policy if they wish to serve desserts with a main meal rather than as individual items, or limit the number of desserts one child can buy.
