SALES ON FOOD AND DRINKS AT SCHOOL CANTEEN
The Healthy School Canteen Management Guide published by the Ministry of Education Malaysia
(MOE) in 2011, has been revised in 2016. As a result, only two (2) categories of food and drinks were
outlined in the guide, i.e. food and drinks that can be sold and not allowed to be sold at school canteen.
This is different from previous guide which underline three categories which are food and drinks that
can be sold, not allowed to be sold and not encouraged to be sold.

MOE has circulated a letter on the Prohibition of Food and Drinks that are Not Encouraged to be Sold
in School Canteen effective on 15 March 2017, to all State Education Departments. The letter was
forwarded to all State Health Departments as a reference and in 2017, the canteen operators was
