SPORT CLUB CANTEENS —
FUNDING — HEALTHY OPTIONS
1118. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I refer to the media statement
released by the Minister for Health yesterday titled ''Funding helps
increase healthy options at WA sport clubs'', which includes several
references to increasing healthy food and drink options.
(1) What defines
healthy food and drink options at sporting clubs, and will the minister table a
list outlining these products?
(2) What defines
unhealthy food and drink options at sporting clubs, and will the minister table
a list outlining these products?
(3) Will
unhealthy products still be allowed to be sold at sports clubs that are
recipients of this funding?
(4) Are there any products that
sporting clubs must stop selling in order to receive this funding grant?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question.
(1) Healthy food
and drink options are defined in accordance with the WA School Canteen
Association's Fuel to Go & Play
traffic light system for rating foods as green and/or amber, based on their
nutritional value. No product list is available. Products are defined through
the individual assessment of each club canteen menu.
(2) Unhealthy
food and drink options are defined in accordance with the WA School Canteen
Association's Fuel to Go & Play
traffic light system to rate foods as red, based on their nutritional value. No
product list is available. Products are defined through the individual
assessment of each club canteen menu.
(3) Yes.
(4) No.
