NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES

Warwickshire County Caterers seek to offer our customers with the choice, wherever possible, of a healthy enjoyable meal each day.


Our menus match the Nutritional Standards set by the Government and we seek to enable pupils to learn to choose food wisely and achieve a balanced diet.

Below are just some of the healthy practises that we have adopted.

Lower in Fat
    We use polyunsaturated pure vegetable oil for cooking, and oven bake foods in preference to frying.

Less Sugar
    We have reduced the sugar content in our recipes and use alternative sweeteners where appropriate.

Less Salt
    We use the minimum amount of salt in our recipes and do not place salt on the dining tables.

More Fibre
    We have increased the fibre in our menus through the use of wholemeal bread and flour, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetable crudites and other items enriched in fibre.
