Our Dietitian’s Choice

"Did you know there is a strong link between low iron and poor mood and concentration? It is also thought that there may be a link between a link between low zinc and poor attention and sleep. Our homemade BBQ Beef is made with both minced beef and quorn mince. Tomatoes, peppers and onion are also added to the tasty BBQ flavour sauce. Together with the tortilla chips makes this choice is a top scorer for the nutrients iron and zinc. Rice provides slow-release energy to sustain pupils for the afternoon’s learning. And always aiming for that 5 a Day target, here we encourage a portion of salad as a nutritious accompaniment."

Sustainable School Meals

UK Farm Assured Standards - The main ingredient of any lasagne is beef mince – and we only use quality UK Red Tractor Beef Mince, supporting UK farmers whilst being reassured that this has been produced to independently inspected standards relating to treatment of the animals, food safety and traceability.

Reduced Carbon Emissions - We know that beef mince is high in greenhouse gas emissions (around 32.13 Co2e). So we tweaked our recipe and replaced 40% of the beef mince with quorn mince with a carbon footprint of just 1.29 Co2e - reducing the carbon emissions in this recipe by 39% with just this one simple change.
