Big Food in Schools: What’s Really Happening in Our Canteens?

It’s a no-brainer: school food should fuel young people, not fail them. But across England, our research shows canteens flooded with cheap, unhealthy options driven by profit, not nutrition. With weak oversight and no real accountability, students are left with food that doesn’t keep them full, focused or supported.

This is our chance to raise the standard and protect young people’s health.
