Saudi Arabia bans 30 food items from school canteens, including chips and cold tea

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Education has implemented a ban on 30 food and drink items in school canteens, including processed meats, chips, cold tea, and sugary beverages. The move aims to promote healthier eating habits among students by restricting access to foods high in sugar, fat, or harmful additives. The banned list also includes certain types of breaded meats, dairy products, and snacks like chocolate-coated biscuits and ice cream. Additional regulations require food to be prepared daily, meet strict hygiene standards, and be stored safely. Operators must also comply with licensing and documentation requirements. These measures are part of broader efforts to improve school environments and align with health guidelines.
