About this listen

The education minister says her department is listening to feedback and actively tweaking menus for school meals.

It as figures show a decline in the uptake since a new menu was introduced in September, which cut the amount of ultra-processed foods, increased the amount of Manx produce, and swapped desserts for fruit and milk.

Data provided in response to a Tynwald Question for Written Answer shows a trend towards pupils bringing their own packed lunch.

In this edition of Newscast, Education Minister Daphne Caine brings Lewis Foster up to speed with how the menu is being received.
