The WA Department of Education’s Student Health in Public Schools Procedures, Appendix B. Healthy Food and Drink allows the sale of ‘selected RED items’ in WA school canteens.
These ‘selected RED items’ are included in the maximum 40% AMBER count. They may only be offered on the same two days a week as AMBER savoury commercial products. Once a ‘selected RED item’ has been removed from a menu, it cannot be reintroduced.
The ‘selected RED items’ are listed below and must meet all nutrient criteria to be sold in WA school canteens. If any criteria are not met, the food item is classified RED and is not permitted for sale in schools.
A comprehensive list of the nutrient criteria for ‘selected RED items’ can be found on the WA Department of Health’s website.
