Food for Life Served Here Silver Award to East Lothian Council Primary Schools

Lodged by Martin Whitfield Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates East Lothian Council’s primary school catering teams for their success in being awarded the Food for Life Served Here Silver Award at an event at Haddington joint campus dining hall, at St Mary’s RC Primary School; understands that the prestigious award, run by the Soil Association Scotland, is a nationally-recognised mark of food quality for school meals and that local authorities receive it following an independent assessment and inspection to ensure that the food being served in schools across the council area is good for pupils’ health, the environment and for the local economy; notes that it has been awarded to all of East Lothian's 37 primary schools, and believes that this is well-deserved recognition of both the skill and commitment of the council's school kitchen staff to creating fresh meals daily and the successful sourcing of as much locally-grown and produced ingredients as possible.
