Food and beverage classification system

 

Schools

Welcome

In this section you will find the online listing of registered everyday and sometimes foods and drinks that meet the FBCS nutrient framework for schools. These products have been classified for you and are recommended for sale and provision in school canteens. This listing is also provided in a printed version that is sent to all schools twice per year.

Food and drinks have been classified into the following three categories

everyday food Appropriate for everyday consumption

Encourage and promote these foods and drinks in your school
 

sometimes food For restricted provision

Do not let these foods and drinks dominate the choices available. Provide in appropriate serving sizes.

occasional food Should not be provided

Limit provision of these foods or drinks.

There is also a merged everyday/sometimes classification that appears under two categories. See 'plain milks' for ECE services and 'mixed meal items' for both ECE services and schools for more details.
