Yes, all food and drinks provided at lunchtime must be included in the nutrient analysis. This includes vending machines that pupils can access at lunchtime. The School Food Trust guide to the nutrient-based standards is available to download here. This includes information on how to calculate an average school lunch, which must meet the nutrient-based standards.
