本文探讨了自2010年以来学校食品标准的变化、2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间英国免费提供学校餐的情况以及对儿童饮食的潜在影响。为了获得有关英国学校食品政策和免费校餐供应方法的信息，我们回顾了几个来源，包括新闻文章，政策文件和期刊文章。学校食品是联合王国健康议程和改善儿童饮食承诺的重要组成部分。每个英国国家都实施了基于食品的标准，然而，只有苏格兰和威尔士也有基于营养的标准。在过去的十年里，每个国家的学校食品标准都得到了更新。英格兰小学前3年和苏格兰小学前5年的儿童普遍享有免费校餐，苏格兰和威尔士宣布了为所有小学生提供免费校餐的计划。英国各国对学校食品缺乏一致的监测，也缺乏遵守标准的报告。在与COVID相关的学校关闭期间，每个国家在应对和管理免费校餐方面都有所不同。此外，在学校关闭期间，对提供免费校餐支助的方法进行监测也存在问题。学校食品的作用在COVID-19期间得到了强调，因此，有人呼吁对免费学校餐资格标准进行审查。需要改进和持续监测整个英国的学校食品，也需要评估学校食品对儿童饮食的影响。
This paper explores changes to school food standards from 2010, free school meal provision during the COVID‐19 pandemic across the UK and potential implications for children's diets. To obtain information on UK school food policies and free school meal provision methods we reviewed several sources including news articles, policy documents and journal articles. School food is an important part of the UK's health agenda and commitment to improving children's diets. Each UK nation has food‐based standards implemented, however, only Scotland and Wales also have nutrient‐based standards. School food standards in each nation have been updated in the last decade. Universal free school meals are available for children in the first 3 years of primary school in England and the first 5 years of primary school in Scotland, with plans announced for implementation of free school meals for all primary schoolchildren in Scotland and Wales. There is a lack of consistent monitoring of school food across the UK nations, and a lack of reporting compliance to the standards. Each nation differed in its response and management of free school meals during COVID‐related school closures. Further, there are issues surrounding the monitoring of the methods to provide free school meal support during school closures. The role of school food has been highlighted during COVID‐19, and with this, there have been calls for a review of free school meal eligibility criteria. The need for improved and consistent monitoring of school food across the UK remains, as does the need to evaluate the impact of school food on children's diets.
