Is this a 'healthy and nutritious' meal?

Chicken dinner, roast potatoes, veg
Fruit and ice cream
Sound ok?
What if you knew the chicken was pre-cooked and delivered frozen, labelled 'product of Thailand' and the second ingrediant was salt, plus other ingrediants.
The chicken is served in gravy. The gravy contains yesterday's left over veg, pureed.
The roast potatoes are frozen.
The veg is cooked to within an inch of it's life, and is just mush.
The fruit is tinned fruit that is pureed.
The ice cream is labelled 'non dairy fat'

Is it just me or is this a terrible meal to serve to a nursery full of children?
And this is one of the good meals, the rest are based on minced meat and gravy, sausages, or fishfingers.
The children are fed value foods from the supermarket, like beans, fromage frais etc.
What do you think?
Have I just got high standards?

The leftover veg is taken from the plates, thank god!
The veg are served from serving trays in each room. Any that are not used are taken back to the kitchen.
I just think that they could be contaminated by people sneezing, or hair falling in or insects landing on them or just something airbourne, er, falling in. Sounds daft
