Health Advice – Recommendations on Food in Schools
The Inter-Territorial Council of the National Health System (CISNS) has agreed on Wednesday a plan with recommendations on food sold in schools and combine criteria to develop school menus.
The products sold (both in vending machines and in the bars) can not have more than 200 kilocalories, of which a maximum of 35% should be fat and 10% saturated fat. Also set limits for salt and sugar.
Under these criteria, we will have to withdraw from the sale of bakery products, soft drinks, candy and much of the fruit juices. Or drinks with caffeine or other stimulants (except those that are naturally present in cocoa, for example), or those with artificial sweeteners (known as light).
There can be no more than 200 calories, 0.5 grams of salt, and, of course, take some trans fatty acid (except for those naturally dairy or meat products). Thus, almost no bun, bag of chips, cookies (for sound that are sold) or salty snack, make the cut.
Health Minister insisted that there is a ban on any food. “It only sets limits on the sale of certain products based on the recommendations of the experts for children, which have no nutritional criteria to determine what foods to eat and what not, do not have access to them.” Read the rest of this entry »
