What is Jamie Oliver campaigning for?
Jamie Oliver is campaigning for two major changes to UK school food standards that would make a huge difference right now:
1. Update School Food Standards: Current guidelines are outdated, inconsistently applied, and often go unenforced. This allows the quality of school meals to vary widely, leaving room for commercial pressures to override children’s nutritional needs. We need modern, updated standards for the entire school day, including breakfast. These new rules must reflect current dietary science, tackle today’s child health challenges, and support the everyday realities that schools face.
2. Monitor and Enforce the Rules: Standards alone aren’t enough. Measurement, accountability, and support are what actually drive improvement, because what gets measured gets managed. We need proper monitoring and enforcement to celebrate the schools serving great, healthy school lunches, and to provide vital support to the ones falling short.
