Glasgow survey finds out of school lunchtime foods 'not healthy'
A Healthy Lunch?
School pupils in Glasgow who buy lunch outside school are likely to be consuming too much energy, fat and salt, a survey has found. The Glasgow Centre for Population Health study bought 45 lunch items around five secondary school areas. It found 37 samples did not comply with one or more of the nutrient standards for fat, saturated fat and salt.
Glasgow Scientific Services carried out the sampling, analysis and results interpretation as part of this joint study with Environmental Health and The Glasgow Centre for Population Health.
