Nutritionist says only top quality food should be in hot school meals

A leading nutritionist says only top quality food should be included in the Hot School Meals Programme.

It comes as the Government prepares to review the nutritional value of the meals provided to schools.

The programme is being expanded to nearly 3,000 schools, with every primary school set to have access by September.

Laurann O’Reilly says the programme is an opportunity to set children up for life.
