Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about school meals, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Government publishes healthy eating standards for school meals, which must be met by schools and academies in England: https://www.gov.uk/school-meals-healthy-eating-standards
We could accept a petition calling for changes to these standards, or for a review of the quality of school meals being provided in England, if either of those are things you would like to happen.
