MHKs have string of questions over new-look school meals

Two MHKs have tabled a series of questions over recent changes to the school meals menu.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper and Onchan MHK Julie Edge have submitted two written questions each to Education Minister Daphne Caine about dinners served to youngsters.

They want to know about the consultation, tasting, contract and content of the new menus.

Earlier this month the Department of Education, Sport and Culture unveiled its new-look meals, saying they'd contain four times as much local produce and 90 per cent less ultra-processed food.
