New New Zealand Health Guidelines Affect Home Daycare

Hi,

I’ve just found a blog post about new health guidelines for 3 month to 18 year olds in New Zealand.

I know I have a number of Kiwi readers and I thought it was important that I put this info on the blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Pies, chips and sausage rolls should be eaten by schoolchildren only once a term, new health guidelines recommend.

The Ministry of Health released its Food and Beverage Classification System Framework yesterday, aimed at helping New Zealand children make healthier at-school choices…

Health ministry’s deputy director general Don Matheson said the aim was to set out healthy food and beverage options for children aged three months to 18 years.”
