dc.description.abstractThe Government of Jamaica (GOJ), through the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information (MOEYI), is currently finalizing the National School Nutrition Policy (NSNP). The overall goal of this Policy is ‘to create a school environment that promotes and facilitates healthy eating habits and a physically active lifestyle among students in Jamaica’ (Draft National School Nutrition Policy, October 2018). The National School Nutrition Standards (NSNS) being developed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) will support the implementation of nutrition related aspects of the NSNP. It will outline the recommended nutrient standards for meals, non-meal items (e.g. snack foods) and beverages. The NSNS will eventually be incorporated into the existing National School Feeding Programme (NSFP). The Interim Guidelines for Beverages in Schools precedes the completion of the NSNP and the NSNS. It will apply to all schools up to and including the secondary level, which are under the remit of the MOEYI. The standards and interim guidelines are based on current evidence and will be updated as new and relevant information becomes available.
