"The European Union’s desire to support the consumption of fruit in school is certainly to be welcomed. Sound nutrition in childhood offers good prospects for a healthy lifestyle later in life, and a properly educated child will popularise healthy nutrition among his or her family and friends as well. Those responsible for the scheme also need to look closely at what kind of fruit they are offering children.
It would be a serious mistake if schools were to end up with fruit filled with pesticide residues and therefore difficult to sell. As a result, the scheme needs to be set up in such a way that schools are provided only with healthy fruit containing pesticide levels well below the maximum allowable limits. It is likewise desirable, in the interests of healthy nutrition, primarily to use Community funds to provide domestic fruit that contains lower sugar levels and higher fibre, rather than to offer bananas, for instance."@en1
