| Current secondary outcome measures as of 19/08/2024: 1. Differences from baseline between the two treatment arms at the endline in usual energy (kcal) intake and estimated habitual daily intake and prevalence of inadequacy of protein (grams), fibre (grams), vitamin A (micrograms), vitamin C (milligrams), calcium (milligrams), iron (milligrams) and zinc (milligrams). 2. Differences from baseline between the two treatment arms at the endline in usual intake (grams) of fruits, vegetables; meat, poultry, fish and eggs; and snack foods rich in salt, sugar and fat, obtained from the home diet (i.e. excluding the school meal). Other outcomes 3. Difference between the two treatment arms at the endline in weighed total mean plate waste from school meals 4. Difference between the two treatment arms at the endline in mean proportion of weighed plate waste relative to total served meal weight 5. Differences between the two treatment arms at three intervention points (once every month of the intervention) in mean hedonic ratings of meal liking. 6. School-level adherence to the prescribed menus, calculated as the average number of compliance days in each intervention school during the three-month period 7. Dose received of the intervention, calculated as the average number of days in which children in each intervention school received the meals during the three-month period 8.
