Dietary data presented in the Scottish Health Survey 2016 tells us most children and young people are consuming far fewer portions of fruit and vegetables than is recommended within the Scottish Dietary Goals. The Scottish Ministers are committed to ensuring every pupil leaves school equipped with the skills, knowledge and experience they need to make better health choices and live longer, healthier lives free from avoidable, diet related conditions. The food and drink they are offered in school can have a big influence in habit setting which is why fruit and vegetables form part of the current school food and drink Regulations. We propose to amend the school food and drink Regulations to ensure it is easier for children and young people to access more fruit and vegetables as part of their school day.
