Parents braced for more school meal price rises

Oxfordshire school meal prices have increased by nearly 14%, expected to rise further to "break even." Parents like Patti Miskolczi are concerned about small portion sizes and rising costs, spending additional money on snacks for their children. The Local Authority Catering Association warns that funding doesn't match rising costs, leading to the use of cheaper ingredients and reduced menu choices. Oxfordshire County Council aims to keep meal prices affordable while exploring ways to mitigate the impact of inflation on parents.
