Raw veg and yoghurt to replace sweets and biscuits!

Flemish education minister Hilde Crevits is the driving force behind the negotiations that also involved the Flemish care minister Jo Vandeurzen.

At present unhealthy snacks are already banned from all Flemish primary schools, but in 65% of secondary schools sugary drinks and sweets are still available.

Unhealthy snacks will now be phased out from all school vending machines. Sugary drinks will be replaced by water, sweets and biscuits by fruit, yoghurt and crudités or raw vegetables.
