From nurseries to schools, through to catering organisations and restaurants, we can analyse your menus and recipes and provide nutritional information to ensure that they meet the nutritional needs of your clients.
Menu Matters offer professional advice on providing healthy balanced meals:
- Support with nutritional guidelines and regulations
- Menu labelling - calorie count, saturated fat and salt levels
- Traffic light labelling
- Menu planning
- Nutritional analysis
We provide professional nutritional analysis of your current menus and advise changes to meet specific requirements.
We analyse your meals / menus or menu cycles and:
Provide you with the nutritional information for you to display eg. calories, fat and salt contents.
- Advise you on nutritional claims you are able to make eg. Low fat. Low salt. Is a good source of Vitamin C/ antioxidants etc.
- Compare nutritional analysis against defined standards and advise any changes that are needed to ensure compliance.
The report details how there are no clear nutritional standards in place in nurseries, and calls for the implementation of Caroline Walker Trust nutrient-based standards in all nurseries.
