Healthy Eating

Healthy Food for Healthy Schools

The Ontario Ministry of Education (MEDU) introduced the Healthy Food for Healthy Schools Act in 2008. The act addresses healthy eating in schools in the following areas:

 

  • Removing trans fat from food and beverages sold in schools
  • Mandatory nutrition standards for food and beverages sold in schools. 

 

All publicly-funded schools in Ontario must meet the requirements of this legislation.
