More space and responsibility for canteens. Regulations on school catering will be only recommendations

The nutritional standards for school meals will remain non-binding recommendations, as stated by Education Minister Robert Plaga. The current mandatory rules regarding the amounts of fruits, vegetables, and meats will be replaced by non-binding expert guidelines. This change aims to give schools more flexibility while maintaining a focus on healthy eating habits for children. The transition period for schools to adapt to these new guidelines has been extended, and the changes could take effect at the beginning of the year. Concerns have been raised by various stakeholders about the potential impact on children's nutrition.
