Free fruit for all
Wednesday, February 26, 2003
All pupils in the first two years of primary school are to receive free fruit through a package of measures designed to introduce children to the importance of a healthy balanced diet from an early age. The Scottish Executive has awarded local authorities a total of 63.5m to implement the initiative, which also includes making fresh, chilled drinking water available in school dining rooms, and setting new nutrient standards for school meals.
