This type of combination drink must contain at least 50% juice, and may not contain added sugar. These types of combination drinks are classified as non-alcoholic flavoured drinks under EU law and are allowed to contain the additives and flavourings as specified by Council Directives 89/107/EEC and 88/388/EEC. However, schools are strongly encouraged to provide drinks that are additive free, in line with the original intention of the School Meals Review Panel which was for children to drink ‘pure’ drinks which offer nutritional benefit. For further clarification please see the updated list and definition of drinks permitted in schools or updated drinks table (Adobe pdf doc 69KB).
