Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin
said Monday she had sent health police to inspect school food
after complaints from parents about food quality.
She said random samples would be taken.
"Diet in schools is very important," she said. "Inspection
results will be assessed on a quarterly basis, as was done with
our task force for retirement homes and institutions for the
disabled".
She said the health inspectors will look into food quality
as well as the kinds of nutrition being offered children
according to their age group. The minister would not divulge
whether the inspections were taking place in public or private
schools, or both.
