All local authorities and governing bodies of maintained schools must comply with the Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2013. These set out the type of food and drink which may be provided during the school day and define the nutrient content of school lunches.
Local authorities and governing bodies must satisfy themselves they are compliant with the Regulations. The Welsh Local Government Association provides support to achieve this.
The universal provision of free school meals in primary schools is being carried out in collaboration with Siân Gwenllian MS, the Plaid Cymru lead designated member, as part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
