The GREEN, AMBER, RED Classification system is a quick reference guide for parents and Canteen Managers alike. The system was developed to help make it easier to decide how often certain types of products should appear on NSW School Canteen Menus. GREEN foods are encouraged as 'Everyday Foods' and Canteens are encouraged to "Fill the menu and and have plenty". AMBER products are encouraged to be "Selected carefully". RED products should only appear on Canteen menus "Occasionally".
All Good Tucker Bakery products that are registered with Healthy Kids are classified as Amber products. We encourage Healthy Choices for our children and for this reason we have developed the Good Tucker Range to include many Healthy Kids approved products.
There are no new Good Tucker products planned at this stage for release as Healthy Kids products.
