“Manufacturing shortfalls” are forcing the School Lunch Collective to outsource about 40% of meals this week, which don’t appear to meet nutritional standards.
The School Lunch Collective (SLC), led by the Compass Group, has been under heavy scrutiny since the start of the school year, as principals have complained about the rollout of the cut-price programme.
On Monday morning, the SLC told schools it was “expanding its range of meal suppliers” to address “manufacturing shortfalls”.
BusinessDesk saw a copy of the email sent to schools, which provided this week’s menu with the “flexi meals” appearing twice in most regions.
