Schools follow a set of guidelines to bring wholesome meals and healthy snacks to provide optimum nutrition for children under the Healthy Meals in Schools Programme. Taste isn’t sacrificed for wellness either.
<div class="ExternalClass698294F4F40A4C5AB5B92BEE3889BDE9"><h2>How healthy are meals in school?</h2><p>To start a lifelong habit of healthy eating, the Healthy Meals in Schools Programme introduces school children to tasty and healthy meals in schools. School canteen operators are trained on the guidelines based on optimum nutrition for children so they can prepare meals that are good for your children. To sustain this healthy habit, here's how you can prepare healthy home cooked meals.</p><p>
