National Policies for Improving Micronutrient Intake in School Meals: A Global Cross‐Sectional Study

2026Open accessUniversity of Pretoria

Abstract

The study underscores the positive contribution of school feeding policies in promoting micronutrient supplementation within school meal programs. However, the negative association of nutrition policies suggests the need for critical policy reassessment to ensure coherence and effectiveness. Strengthening cross-sectoral linkages, particularly among health, food safety, agriculture, and private sector policies, may further enhance micronutrient intake and improve child health outcomes globally.
