USEFUL LINKS

As consumers, we increasingly expect food to be healthy and sustainable and we care about how it has been produced. While individual products must display nutritional information on their packaging, this is not the case with prepared food. External accreditation ensures a set of standards is maintained and helps communicate these principles to customers.
