Improving care through food – get your catering certified by the Soil Association
Good food is vitally important to people in care. It can enrich their experience of care as well as supporting their health and wellbeing. The Soil Association’s Catering Mark lets your residents, staff and relatives know that the food you serve is fresh, healthy, sustainable and nutritious. It’s a recognised mark of quality that gives an independent seal of approval to the hard work you do.
Why choose the Catering Mark?
- Improve your care
Providing the very best, safest food sets you apart. - Keep control of cost
Many caterers report that improving quality doesn’t necessarily increase costs. Making more food from scratch and buying from a catering mark supplier scheme, members can actually save money. - Highlight the positive steps you are taking around food
The Catering Mark is an independent endorsement of your food quality and a clear signal to your residents and their relatives about your commitment to serving them good food.
