The panel's seven-month review resulted in a final report that includes 12 primary recommendations and 27 sub-recommendations. The recommendations centre around three main themes: fostering a culture of food safety that supports high-quality, safe and healthy learning environments for children; public policy, legislation and inspection systems for food safety; system alignment and integration."
