Collective nutrition for children and youth – what is changing?

New regulations emphasize healthy eating in schools and kindergartens, focusing on plant-based foods while maintaining a balanced diet. The changes aim to diversify meals, reduce processed foods, and ensure nutritional adequacy for children's growth. Key updates include limiting meat dishes, increasing plant-based options, and lowering sugar content in school snacks. The National Center for Nutrition Education provides resources and support for implementing these changes, including guides and direct expert contact for schools.
