Tayside primary schools will no longer offer fruit juice to pupils under a region-wide strategy. The initiative will outlaw juice from schools after council bosses ruled the drinks contained excessive levels of sugar. Fruit juice will be removed as a lunchtime option for children, with milk and water being offered instead. According to Tayside Contracts, which made the decision along with the councils, the removal of fruit juice as an option is “a positive step towards healthier eating.”
