The updated two-week menu has been introduced across all 58 primary schools in Wrexham. It features a larger variety of local Welsh dairy, meat, fruit, and vegetables. The initiative aims to boost the use of Welsh produce while offering pupils a more diverse selection of nutritious meals.
The menu development focused on incorporating seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to support Welsh farmers and suppliers. This effort aligns with broader goals to promote healthy eating habits among children and strengthen the local economy.
By expanding the use of Welsh products in school meals, Wrexham schools provide students not only with balanced nutrition but also with a connection to their regional agriculture and food culture.
"We want to ensure our children enjoy wholesome meals while supporting local farmers," said a spokesperson involved in the menu rollout.
This initiative highlights the importance of locally sourced food in education settings, benefiting health and the community economy alike.
