Starchy foods
Starchy food is an important source of energy and B vitamins. Flour is fortified with iron and calcium. Wholegrain varieties of bread and pasta are good sources of fibre, which is important for a healthy digestive system. Starchy foods help children feel full, so they are less likely to snack on foods high in fat, saturated fat, sugar or salt. You should include: one or more portions of food from this group every day 3 or more different starchy foods each week one or more wholegrain varieties of starchy food each week starchy food cooked in fat or oil no more than 2 days each week (applies across the whole school day) bread - with no added fat or oil - must be available every day You can: use wholegrain varieties of starchy foods try using a 50:50 mix for pasta and rice use at least half wholemeal or granary flour when making bread, puddings, cakes, biscuits, batters and sauces use different types of bread and look for products with higher fibre Do not add salt to water when cooking pasta, rice and other starchy foods. Instead, add flavour to the main dish by using herbs, spices, garlic and vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables
Getting children to eat more fruit and vegetables is vital for good health. Introducing children to a wide variety of fruit and vegetables establishes healthy eating habits for life, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Fruit and vegetables are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals. They are also often a good source of fibre. Fruit and vegetables add colour, flavour and variety to meals. You should include: one or more portions of vegetables or salad as an accompaniment every day one or more portions of fruit every day a dessert containing at least 50% fruit 2 or more times each week at least 3 different fruits and 3 different vegetables each week You can: make sure your meal deals always contain at least one portion of vegetables and one portion of fruit provide at least 2 different coloured vegetables and fruits each day buy fruit and vegetables that are in season choose canned products in water or natural juice, with no added salt or sugar steam vegetables or boil them in a minimal amount of water display fruit and vegetables prominently and attractively talk to the children to encourage them to try new vegetable and fruit dishes using produce from the school garden is a great way to encourage children to try new vegetables and fruit price a portion of fruit so that it is cheaper than a dessert add lots of vegetables into composite dishes such as Bolognese or chilli con carne Pulses count as vegetables. However, if you are serving pulses as a non-dairy protein for vegetarians, you will need a separate vegetable serving as well. Do not serve baked beans more than once a week and choose low-sugar and low-salt varieties.
Milk and dairy
Dairy foods are a rich source of energy, protein, calcium, vitamin A and riboflavin. You should include: a portion of food from this group every day lower fat milk, which must be available for drinking at least once a day during school hours You can: offer frozen yoghurt as an alternative to ice cream buy low-sugar varieties of milkshakes and yoghurt drinks. You could make them yourself using fruit to sweeten them Hard cheeses such as cheddar tend to be higher in saturated fat than softer cheese. When using hard cheeses, choose stronger-tasting varieties and use smaller amounts.
Many of the food-based standards apply to food served throughout the school day, including breakfast, midmorning break and after school clubs, as well as from vending machines and tuck shops.
Use the checklist for school food other than lunch.

The following resources are available to caterers and cooks to help them source their food responsibly.
Sustainable procurement: The Government Buying Standards for food and catering services set clear technical specifications to assist with buying food and catering services.
Buy seasonal and local food. As well as often being more sustainable in production, it can build greater awareness of local produce and build stronger links with local food suppliers. You can find out more about local and sustainable food at Sustain.
