Confectionery

Confectionery is of minimal nutritional value and high in kilojoules. The sale of confectionery through Government school food services will be phased out from 2007–2009. From the start of 2009, no confectionery should be supplied through school food services.

Examples of confectionery are:

Chocolate
Carob
Yoghurt frogs
Gummy lollies e.g. jelly beans, snacks
Licorice
