abstract = {All European Union (EU) countries have established national
school food policies. However, evaluations of those policies
for secondary schools remain limited. This scoping review
aims to synthesize the evidence of school food policies in
secondary schools on child health, acceptance, and
affordability in the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, and
Iceland.The scoping review adheres to the PRISMA-ScR
guideline. Searches were conducted in four databases from
2000 to September 2023 without language and methods
restrictions following a published protocol. After a
two-stage screening process, reviewers extracted data using
a standardized and predefined coding scheme.The search
identified 185 records with N = 10 articles meeting the
inclusion criteria (n = 7 UK, n = 1 each in Norway, Sweden,
and Portugal). Among the included articles, n = 7 addressed
school meal acceptance, n = 6 addressed health impacts, and
n = 3 addressed affordability. Findings indicate low
acceptance rates of school meals. Results of several studies
showed that the reformulated menus did not meet nutritional
standards and were not accepted because of taste, quality,
and pupils' different food preferences. Affordability was
reported as a barrier across the three articles addressing
this topic.The existing literature highlights challenges in
interpreting the impact of school food policies on health,
acceptance, and affordability. Further research is needed to
strengthen the methodological approaches and increase the
evidence to inform policy development and implementation.},
