A review of a school meals programme finds that roughly 100,000 meals are wasted every day, prompting plans to overhaul the scheme. The findings are based on a Government-commissioned study published as concerns are raised about efficiency and spending.
The outlets report that the review points to widespread disposal or non-use of meals across the day-to-day operation of the programme. While the overall conclusion—that a large volume of prepared food is being wasted—is consistent across coverage, the articles focus on different aspects of the response, including the scale of the waste and the fact that an overhaul is being considered following the study’s results.
