The Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Education have banned the sale and distribution of substandard food items in the canteens and cafeterias of both public and private schools.

This decision has been made to prevent the sale of unsafe food and beverages in schools, with the aim of protecting children’s health and preventing disease.

According to technical studies, such products contain harmful chemicals that may cause serious illnesses in children, including cancer, heart disease, and mental disorders.

It is worth noting that school authorities have been urged to fully cooperate with both ministries in implementing this decision, and that legal action will be taken against violators.
