Consuming unhygienic food can have severe consequences on the health of the students. This can also ruin the reputation of an institute. In addition, it is a basic right of a student to have access to hygienic and high-quality food in the school.

What is a complaint letter to the principal about the school canteen?

A complaint letter is usually written to the head of the school to let him know that the staff of the canteen has not been honestly performing its duties and there is a need to keep check and balance on it. In addition, the provision of high-quality food becomes possible as a result of the complaint letter.

Subject: Complaint against the canteen

Respected sir,

I hope this letter finds you in high spirits. I am ____________ [your name], studying in grade 8 in section C. I am writing this to bring an important issue to your attention. I believe it is essential for everyone to address the issue of food in the cafeteria because it can have a severe impact on the health and well-being of the students.

I appreciate the fact that the administration of the school is putting efforts into providing a cafeteria facility which is a great place to sit and have discussions about life. However, there are some issues faced by persistent students.

The canteen’s staff is not following standard procedures for preparing and serving the food. The unsanitary condition of the kitchen is daunting. The canteen staff pays no heed to the students’ complaints and puts the students’ health and lives at risk. There is a need to have some practice to clean the kitchen and the entire sitting area thoroughly.

Furthermore, the food is not being sold to students at the standard price set in the market. The prices are exorbitant. Students usually have a limited budget due to this, they are unable to afford to purchase things at such high prices.

I hope this complaint letter will help you improve the overall quality of the food and the canteen. I urge you to take some action to resolve all the issues of the students. I am grateful to you for your attention to this matter.

Regards,
