Mothers describe with incredulity the inadequate and poorly chosen food given to children in England
The government and the catering companies it has hired have come under fire after photographs of free school meal parcels were circulated online.
The food packages sent to children who qualify for free school meals and are remote learning because of the national lockdown were not considered to contain enough high quality food. The Department for Education said it was looking into the issue, and that “parcels should be nutritious and contain a varied range of food”.
