Do fundraising activities such as chocolate and lamington drives have to comply with the policy?
No. However, fundraising activities that promote health and wellbeing are encouraged. These could include seasonal fruits eg. mangoes, freeze dried fruits, toothbrushes, healthy food cookbooks, sun block, nursery products. To help ensure foods used for fundraising activities are consistent with the policy and standards for healthy food and drinks, schools can: • provide suggestions to P and C Associations/parents/caregivers of the types of products they wish to sell • include products that fall into the GREEN category in the list of suggestions (eg. scones, fruit salad) • provide recipes, including ideas on modifying recipes to make them healthier • suggest home cooked products such as cakes and slices be provided in small serving sizes • suggest home cooked products without adding extras such as jam, cream or ice-cream • provide information on food safety.
