England bans deep-fried foods in school meals
New school food standards in England will ban deep-fried foods, such as chips, requiring them to be oven-baked, as part of the country's largest overhaul in over a decade. Starting in 2027, regulations will also increase the availability of fresh fruit, vegetables, fiber, and whole grains, with restrictions on desserts and processed meats, and improved monitoring and transparency. These changes aim to combat childhood obesity and enhance children's nutrition, learning, and wellbeing through stricter menu requirements and expanded free school meal eligibility.
