由Jamie Oliver创办的食品慈善机构Bite Back对391所英国公立中学的菜单进行分析后发现，绝大多数学校正在违反政府规定的食品标准1。研究表明，被分析的菜单中四分之三至少存在一项违反标准的情况1。
具体违规情况涉及多个方面。53%的学校（206所）销售原本应被禁止的高脂肪、高糖、高盐产品，包括薯片、Oreos、Mini Cheddars、巧克力棒和糕点1。57%的学校（224所）提供肉制品如汉堡、鸡块和香肠的频率超过允许的每周两次限制1。37%的学校（144所）提供薯条的频率同样超出规定1，31%的学校（123所）在甜点或烘焙食品中使用固体巧克力，尽管这被明确禁止1。相比之下，仅有2%的学校（8所）违反了禁止单独销售糖果的规定1，仅1%的学校（3所）销售被禁止的含糖饮料如可口可乐和百事可乐1。
英国教育部已宣布将对学校食品标准进行重大改革并加强执法1。工党政府计划从下一学年开始扩大免费学校餐的范围1。
A comprehensive analysis of school meal programs across England has uncovered widespread violations of government nutritional guidelines. The investigation by Bite Back, a food charity founded by Jamie Oliver, examined menus from 391 public secondary schools and found that three-quarters of them breach at least one food standard requirement 1.
The most common violations involve serving meat-based dishes at excessive frequencies, with 224 schools (57%) offering burgers, chicken nuggets, and sausages more than the permitted twice weekly 1. Additionally, 144 schools (37%) exceed the weekly limit for chips, serving them more frequently than allowed 1. A separate issue identified by the analysis is the sale of prohibited high-fat, high-sugar, and high-salt products; 206 schools (53%) were found selling items such as crisps, Oreos, Mini Cheddars, chocolate bars, and pastries that should be banned 1. Furthermore, 123 schools (31%) incorporate solid chocolate in desserts and baked goods despite this being prohibited 1.
Compliance with certain restrictions appears stronger in some areas. Only 8 schools (2%) were found violating the ban on selling candy as standalone items, and just 3 schools (1%) sold restricted sugary beverages such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi 1. In response to these findings, the UK's Labour government has announced significant reforms to school food standards and plans to intensify enforcement efforts, beginning with an expansion of free school meal provision from the next academic year 1.
