What is the Food and Beverage Classification System?
♫ Tuesday, July 12th, 2011The Food and Beverage Classification System is a way of classifying foods and beverages that are recommended for sale or provision at schools and ECE services. The system has been designed specifically for foods and beverages children commonly consume in the education setting.
The three-tiered system identifies foods and beverages that are:
* Everyday foods: appropriate for everyday consumption. Encourage and promote these foods and drinks in your school or ECE service.
* Sometimes foods: for restricted provision. Do not let these foods and drinks dominate the choices available,and provide inappropriate serving sizes.
* Occasional foods: not for provision. Limit provision of these foods or drinks to about ONE occasion per term.
