School food should be special – official
Food suppliers of regional kindergartens are chosen in contests organized by local authorities, head of State Food Safety and Quality Control Inspectorate Arman Araratyan told reporters in Yerevan.
“The control is carried out by local self-government bodies,” he said.
Regarding food which is sold in schools, Mr Araratyan said that the pilot program ‘Sustainable School Food’ mentions exact requirements for school food.
“School food should be special,” he said, adding that it should be fresh and milk should be served in disposable cups.
The ‘Sustainable School Food’ program will begin in 2014 in Vayots Dzor. By 2021, it is expected to be introduced in all provinces as well as in Yerevan.
