36999 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: What advice, if any, has the associate minister received on the nutritional value and content of school lunches?

Hon David Seymour: Since the start of Term 3 I have not received any advice on the nutritional value and content of school lunches. I am advised by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) that all suppliers for the school lunches programme are required to meet the nutrition standards for the programme.
