NOTICE OF MISINFORMATION❗️

MISINFORMATION: That the Ministry of Education’s National School Feeding Programme served spoiled, moldy cheese sandwiches to pupils of St. Theresa Primary School in Region Six on today’s date – June 11, 2026.

FACT 1: The cheese sandwiches were served to the school since Tuesday, June 9, 2026. At the time of delivery, the meals were verified by the headteacher of the school to be fresh and of proper quality and standards.

FACT 2: Every meal served is videoed, photographed and inspected thoroughly by teachers of every school, who then have to sign a letter of satisfaction confirming that the meals meet the requisite high standards fit for our children.

FACT 3: Since September 2025, Hon. Sonia Parag, Minister of Education, made it mandatory for caterers to provide video and photo evidence of meals being prepared for each day, including last Tuesday (as evidenced in the video and screenshot below).

FACT 4: All reported cases are investigated thoroughly and caterers found to be in breach of the health and safety guidelines are immediately removed from the programme.

FACT 5: Investigations into many reported cases have found that meals would often be forgotten in book bags for days.

While there is a clear attempt to tarnish this very impactful programme for cheap political gains, the Ministry of Education will continue to investigate every single complaint, regardless of the source. The overall wellbeing of our children remains paramount in everything that we do.

Parents, teachers and members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant and to report any concerns they may have with the programme by scanning the QR code contained in the third image below.
