France has strong rules here: if the kid wants to eat their own lunch, they have to do it offsite. Teens will do that but not imagining many parents picking up their 8 y.o. daily to do so.
They (probably) put more money into it and have the cultural attitudes to do all of the above.

Meal prices are quite competitive, kids usually eat at the canteen or at home, they don’t usually bring their own food

Once you start bringing external food into the system, you can no longer guarantee the safety of the other canteen goers, even if, theoretically, they will not be sharing their meals.
