Buyers’ Guide

The Healthy Kids School Canteen Buyers’ Guide is a valuable tool used by school canteen managers to build healthier canteen menus in line with their state/territory’s canteen guidelines and policies. Products listed in the Buyers’ Guides are registered in the Healthy Kids Product Registration Scheme.

Many products in the Buyers’ Guides have been developed to meet the various state/territory canteen guidelines, and are available only through distributors in foodservice.
