'We are very excited to be working together and look forward to the debut of the updated website in August, just in time for the start of the new school year.'

It will also feature a fruit and vegetable of the month, a kids section, as well as a health and fitness section containing information from national institutions and experts.
'We are excited to join with PBH as we launch our new and updated website,' said Frank Kohler, publisher and CEO of Schoolmenu.com. 'We understand how important it is today to emphasise healthy and positive messages to parents and students, as well as to remind them that fruits and vegetables are a vital component of national school programmes.'
