Apples or apricots, cucumbers or carrots, juice or milk: the EU programme for healthy snacks for millions of children starts again when school starts after the big holidays. The EU Commission announced on Monday that some 250 million euros will be available for the school year ahead. In earlier years, around 20 million children participated in all EU countries.
