The Agency has published a statement on the handling, preparation and serving of food in school classrooms.
The activity of food preparation, handling and serving of food in the classroom is distinct from the provision of school lunch by caterers. Staff should undertake appropriate risk assessments to ensure food can be prepared and provided safely.
In addition, the basic principles of food preparation and personal hygiene should always be observed. These are summarised by the '4Cs' below.
Local authorities' environmental health services can also provide advice.
