00:01Plans to change school meals to include more lentils, beans and pulses are facing
00:05concern from catering providers. The government proposals aim to improve nutrition by limiting
00:11desserts and reducing popular grab-and-go options like pizza and sausage rolls, but industry
00:17representatives warn the changes could increase costs and affect what pupils choose to eat.
00:22They say some students may turn to shops outside school or bring in less balanced
00:27packed lunches instead. Caterers also argue the changes could affect the financial
00:33viability of services already under pressure. The government says improving the quality of
00:39school food is important for children's health and long-term well-being.
