School Food Checklist

The School Food Checklist has been developed by the School Food Trust to assist schools to check if their lunch and non-lunch including breakfast club, mid-morning break, tuck shop, vending and after school club food provision is compliant with the Government’s food-based standards.

For use by everyone - from school cooks and catering managers to nutritionists and dieticians - the tool is quick and easy to use.

After entering all the food and drink your school provides in each service across the school day over a week, you can generate a report which can be viewed online or printed for your review.

  1. Start a new week

    Enter all the food which has been provided in a school (in each service/across the school day) over a one week period

  2. Add Food

    The tool will check the food provided against the Government’s food-based standards for lunch and all food otherthan lunch and produce a simple report of the results.

  3. Generate Report
