Schools offering food services to students and staff must provide healthy, nutrient-rich food. They must also obtain the required licenses and maintain inspection records and notices, according to Abu Dhabi’s Department of Education and Knowledge (Adek).
As per the new policy, which the education department implemented during the 2024/25 academic year, schools are required to create a safe and healthy food environment while actively promoting nutritious food choices.
