Quinn said: “I’m a huge fan of what Jamie has, and continues to achieve in raising awareness of the urgent need for better standards of school food.
“But I’m also worried that this current debate ignores the very high standards which some of us in the industry are setting in our school restaurants.”
Urging the need for strict adherence to basic nutritional standards in all schools, Quinn added:
“Some companies are making tremendous strides in their client schools, offering wide choices of delicious, nutritious food which have tripled and quadrupled uptakes of school dinners. Can’t these kinds of achievements occasionally share the spotlight?”??
Quinn welcomed MP Zac Goldsmith’s early day motion to make government guidelines mandatory in all academies, with the added suggestion that successful academy kitchens could be used as models to help inform future legislation.??
