Turkey Makes
The Grade
New government food & nutrient based standards for school meals were introduced following research showing that children were not making healthy food choices at lunchtime and that school meals did not meet their nutritional needs. The new standards will help to ensure that children enjoy balanced meals containing good sources of protein and carbohydrate, accompanied by lots of vegetables, salad and fruit and that the less healthy food choices, high in fat, salt and sugar are replaced by more nutritious options.*
For school caterers however creating inspirational menus which are varied,compliant & appealing to the ultimate in discerning diners, children, can be a challenge.
We know just how picky kids can be and we also know the kind of meals they love the most. As the British turkey expert we have used this knowledge to create a range of British turkey products that help caterers develop menus which meet the School Food Trust guidelines and are guaranteed to keep kids inside the school gates at lunchtime.
Our Big Green Tick sub-range takes the worry out of planning, ticking the boxes for healthier menus with a selection of kids’ favourites, ingredients and whole muscle roasts.
The range is being developed with LEA’s and school caterers and offers a superb alternative to chicken and other meats. All products are made from quality British turkey for ultimate peace of mind and are easy to prepare and perfect for busy school kitchens with less skilled staff.
The Big Green Tick range bring greater variety to school menus, ensuring the next generations are not only fed and watered, but happy and healthy.
