Rather than thinking about this 'healthy eating policy', I was wondering about the legality of this business. Firstly, If he 'made' upwards of £100 some days, but has only been in operation since September, he probably hasn't reached any tax/NI threshold, but I'd always assumed there are regulations on having to register a business, and I'm assuming he didn't. -Are there? Using school property as a shop when it has clearly not been given permission to also sounds and bit off.
Also, I thought there were regulations on certain information having to be displayed on the packaging of food you buy, that isn't listed on multipack items. - Are there? I know if you prepare food you have to have some hygiene certificate, but I presume that as the food will still have been in a wrapper this doesn't apply.
Anyway, good for him making money out of sugar addicted kids who don't know the worth of the change in their pocket, but I was just surprised that this kind of business isn't breaking more than a school healthy eating policy.
