Decisions about how food education and activities are delivered, including any themed days or events, are local matters.
However, all local authorities and governing bodies of maintained schools must comply with the Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2013. These set out the type of food and drink which may be provided during the school day.
