Netizens question nutritional value of central kitchen meals as Hwa Chong Institution students weigh in

Following the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) rollout of the Central Kitchen Meal Model (CKMM), some netizens have drawn comparisons between the school meals and food served in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).

Beyond aesthetics, concerns have also been raised over the nutritional quality of the meals, alongside fears that the move could erode traditional school canteen culture.

‘Looks worse than cookhouse food’

On Saturday (3 Jan), a Reddit user shared photos of meals allegedly served under the CKMM.

According to the original poster (OP), the meals were provided to secondary school students at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) during lunch.
