School Meals
School Catering
Fresh Start is the name Devon Catering & Cleaning Services has given to brand new menus which DCCS developed and introduced in from Autumn 2005. Fresh Start is the result of a review of school catering in primary schools, commissioned by the Director of Education Arts and Libraries, involving education professionals, the health service, dieticians and parents.
The principles of Fresh Start are simple:
- Produce a good quality meal providing one third of the nutrional requirement for a child
- Uses freshly prepared ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible
- Increases the availability of fresh vegetables, fruit and yoghurt
- Reduces to a minimum the amount of choice available to ensure a balanced diet
- Removes processed food, with exception of high quality sausages which are locally produced
If you would like to comment on the service or any other services which can be found on our web site, then please use our response page.
