The current Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in schools (Scotland) Regulations 2008 have been in place in all schools since 2009. Whilst those Regulations have been instrumental in bringing about much positive change, The Scottish Government wants to ensure that our children and young people continue to be offered food and drink that reflects the latest scientific evidence and dietary advice on food health and nutrition. The new Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020, which takes affect on 8 April 2021, is aligned more closely to the Scottish Dietary Goals and are covered in more detail in this course.
