How many, if any, meals were thrown out by schools during the week of July 20th 2026?

Answered by

Hon David Seymour

Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education that schools in the school lunches programme are required to return surplus meals to their supplier. I refer the Member to my response to written parliamentary question 33781 (2026) for number of surplus meals.
