The State Duma called for the introduction of uniform nutritional standards for deputies and schoolchildren

Russia should establish uniform nutrition standards for deputies and schoolchildren. Sardana Avksentyeva, deputy head of the New People faction in the Duma, sent a proposal to this effect to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko on January 30.

She emphasized that there is now a significant difference in the quality of food between school canteens and the canteens of deputies of regional legislative assemblies and executive authorities.

"I believe it is necessary <...> to establish the same requirements for the nutrition of schoolchildren and civil servants, including representatives of the executive and legislative branches of government," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

Avksentyeva noted that the main reason for this problem is the availability of different suppliers for different categories of institutions.

In September, doctors of the NIKI of childhood told about the most useful options for a snack at school. So, that to school should be convenient for quick consumption, while healthy, varied and nutritious. The food should retain freshness for several hours.
