Policies, Interventions and Actions

National School Nutrition Standards

These Standards define the types of foods and beverages restricted in the Jamaican school environment. The Standards apply to all food and drink items available to children within the school environment whether prepared on or offsite. In addition, these Standards apply to the compound and immediate vicinity (within 200 m from the perimeter) of all public infant, primary and secondary institutions in Jamaica and are also applicable to school fundraisers, recreational activities, sporting events and competitions at those schools. Prohibitions on marketing in the school environment, such as promotion, sponsorship and philanthropic activities linked to brands associated with products which are high in salt, fat or sugar are recommended in these Standards
