Teign School, Kingsteignton, has launched a new healthy eating packed lunch service to entice students back into the canteen to fight a backlash against the arrival of fresh fruit and vegetables. 'The school had noticed the number of students visiting the canteen had fallen since "unhealthier" food options were removed,' said a spokesman. The sale of junk food has been banned from the lunchtime cafeteria under new regulations. New standards include no sweets, soft drink, chocolate or salty snacks at lunchtime, no salt cellars on tables and deep fried food no more than twice a week. Dinners must include vegetables and fruit and oily fish must be on the menu at least once every three weeks. The new packed lunch, launched on Monday, consists of a choice of baguette or sandwich with various fillings, a piece of fruit, a flapjack and fresh juice. 'We have already consulted lower school pupils about their favourite sandwich and it will save time and be in keeping with the new school food standards,' says the school newsletter. Students will be able to complete a weekly order form each Monday, making their selections for the week. The issue of school meals rose to national prominence earlier this year after TV chef Jamie Oliver launched a campaign demanding more funding from the government for better ingredients in schools. The campaign won huge public support and the government announced a £280m package of funds over the next three years to improve school meals, provide more money for new kitchens and extra cash for ingredients. Teign School has been tackling this issue for some time. It won the Teignbeat Gold Award for healthy eating in 2004, long before Jamie Oliver began his campaign. The award is presented by the environmental health department and recognises exceptional efforts made to promote healthy eating. Since then, the school has been improving its catering services and is looking into initiatives such as ordering and paying for meals online to help secure the future of the canteen.
