Good question. ProVeg works with councils on refining their menu and the implementation of a new menu after a commitment. To my knowledge they don’t recommend eggs as replacements for the meat meals and they focus predominately on plant-based options as replacements. The only exceptions I’ve seen to this is two cases of dairy cheese included in a total of 40 recommended meals. I can follow up with them about this on Thursday however as it’s definitely important.
In essence, the new meals are almost always plant-based but the schools legally have to serve a portion of milk or dairy every single day which is why they’re labelled vegetarian days vs plant-based days.
