OFFSHORE CATERING Available to Purchase

Over the last ten years the number of meals eaten out of the home by each person each week has increased. It has been estimated that caterers provide at least twenty per cent of the food eaten in the United Kingdom and it has been reported that the fat content of many of the meals they prepare is high. Caterers should therefore be involved in health promotion programmes. The Look After Your Heart campaign offers a certificate to caterers who meet the scheme's requirements for hygiene, smoking restriction and healthy food choices. The award is not offered in Scotland at the moment.
