The Minister for Health has called for increased availability of healthier food and drinks in NSW Health facilities for staff and visitors. NSW Health has responded with a comprehensive policy to guide action towards this end. This policy acknowledges that NSW Health facilities are well-placed to model healthy eating for the broader community and that they have a responsibility to provide their large workforce with healthier food and drink choices.
The first phase of policy implementation (November 2007-June 2009) will focus on limiting commercial, ready-to-eat and pre-packaged food and drink products sold from NSW Health facilities.
This site provides you with a starter list of healthy food products that you can choose from for your business. More products will be added over time. You can search by product, food category or company...
Just because a product is not on the list, doesn’t mean it is not appropriate or able to be sold/used. Check the Red Food Criteria Summary Table and make your own assessment of the product.
