Nutrition in Schools

Healthy products for healthier kids
More and more attention is being placed on the nutritional standards and quality of childrens’ school meals. Moy Park Foodservice provides school caterers with a range of meal offerings perfect for children.

Moy Park Foodservice is aware of the importance of a balanced and healthy diet particularly among Primary School pupils; at a time when children are growing and learning, it is important to encourage them to develop healthy eating habits, which promise to help them in later life. As an integral part of a healthy diet, chicken is a significant source of protein and has a number of health benefits including essential vitamins and minerals; important ingredients for young minds.

Ticking all the boxes
Government regulations for school lunches address the minimum meat content in food products. Moy Park Foodservice can reassure caterers that it adheres to these guidelines; providing customer favourites, which are free from MRM with no added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Government regulations are not only addressing food standards but are also looking at the cooking methods adopted by caterers. For example deep-fried foods are only permitted twice a week (as of September 2008). Moy Park Foodservice provide a solution - not restricted to deep-frying, its products can be cooked in a variety of ways including the healthier options of grilling and oven baking.
