39306 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many lunches, if any, that were meant to serve specific dietary or religious needs did not meet those needs during the week of August 4th 2025?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) does not track lunches across all suppliers and internal meal providers in the programme on a weekly basis. During the week beginning 4 August 2025, 505,174 meals were delivered by the School Lunch Collective. Of these, the Ministry was not advised of any meals that did not meet the dietary and religious needs of participating students.
