Key Challenges in the Education Sector The education sector has seen significant focus on childhood obesity since the newly released government Childhood obesity: Time for action report, making school food standards mandatory for all schools including academies. Another area of change has been the introduction of the Sugar Tax or Soft Drinks Industry Levy. This came into effect on the 6 April 2018 and forms part of the government’s plan to reduce childhood obesity by encouraging manufacturers to reduce the sugar contents of soft drinks. Funds from the levy go towards breakfast clubs and physical activity programmes in schools. The influence of street food on the high street as well as a diversifying nation has led to some adventurous young palates which provides caterers with the perfect opportunity to get creative. Social media means that many of them will have better palates and be more knowledgeable of food trends than their parents did at that age. Convenience and speed of service are also paramount for pupils, highlighting the importance of suitable grab and go options.

With the rise of high street influences and huge trends such as street food, school menus need to reflect current trends in order to keep children onsite and interested, all whilst maintaining top level nutrition and adhering to budgets.
“A couple of slices of white bread either side of a filling won’t cut it anymore”
Street food doesn’t have to only belong to high street restaurants or food stalls, it can be the perfect solution to time restricted lunchbreaks. Street food is grab and go food, often handheld, served quickly that fits into busy lifestyles. Very often it is healthy and nutritious and is always wonderfully bright and colourful. Street food traders and school caterers have more in common than you might think.

Hot right now! The huge growth in the vegan and vegetarian markets may also impact a child’s preference in the dining hall, if parents are choosing a plant based lifestyle their children will expect to see these types of foods available.
Students expect the same types of food that they eat on weekends; world foods are extremely popular with those au fait with a variety of produce from across the globe and they expect to see them on school menus.
Breakfast Options Breakfast smoothie bowl with crunchy granola and almond milk. These can also be served in a vegware pot to meet the demand for grab and go options
Overnight oats made with dairy free plain yoghurt
How you can adapt your menus? Vegan meals are no longer considered boring and lacking in flavour, a few simple changes can open up your menu to vegan customers and even satisfy meat lovers too!
Grab & Go Options Replace meat burgers with a bean burger Pumpkin and beetroot flatbreads are a great grab and go hand held option

“Children love to eat with their hands and hot dogs are the ultimate handheld product” Some areas to consider when developing your menu: ✔ A multicultural society has made students more open to new and different flavours ✔ Incorporate trendy new flavours such as Asian, Middle Eastern & North African and European ✔ Adopt a new term, new flavours approach
High School Street When it comes to the menu, the best and most authentic thing is to find a popular or on-trend dish and reduce the salt, sugar and spice to create a child-friendly version. Traditional dishes have their place but ditching the plate, knife and fork in favour of smart, clean and simple packaging has been shown to be popular. Very often a base like pizza, hot dog or potatoes can lend itself to many different types of street food dishes making it easy for anyone in the kitchen to do and not too expensive either. With so many options for street food inspired dishes you can ensure your menu stays fun and tempting.

✔ Consider the impact of time-pressured students making convenience and graband-go options important ✔ Personalise meals with salad and fruit bars
Piri-piri chicken thigh on a brioche bun
✔ Make food look and taste good – compete with the high street
#Instagram Today’s social media savvy children are warming to foods that are as tasty as they are photogenic, as growing numbers of people begin to take snaps of their meals with apps like Instagram and share them amongst followers and friends, increasing their exposure to global food trends.

Stealth Health! We all know that encouraging kids to eat more vegetables can be a challenge, whether it be through stealth tactics such as hidden veg or educating them on the journey from seed to plate, the end goal is the same.
Ensuring that ‘food to go’ and ‘snacking’ options pack a healthy punch doesn’t need to be to the detriment of flavour. As lovely as it would be for all children to voluntarily eat their vegetables sometimes you have to hide them. Suppliers have worked hard to create ready made pizzas and Italian sauces that meet school food standards, yet few pupils would even know that they’re not the same as they get on the high street – it’s a great way to get at least two of their five a day without them even knowing! Keep food options healthy – ✔ Make as many dishes as possible from scratch ✔ Trim visible fat from meat and remove skin from poultry ✔ Avoid frying or roasting, if you do, use spray oils
Take the Veg Pledge! Blending vegetables up into a sauce is a great option for increasing a child’s daily intake, try to use vegetables that blend smoothly for maximum appeal. As a twist on pasta, using a spiralizer to create pumpkin or courgette spaghetti is another great way to easily get some ‘stealth health’ into a hot school meal. Other ideas include wilting spinach into lasagne, a veg packed soup or swapping traditional pizza bases with plant based using vegetable flours such as beetroot or spinach.
Grab & Go To make a meal “grab & go”, it needs to fit into your hand and not require utensils or plates. With growing packaging and carrier offerings, turning meals into grab & go options is easier than ever!’ Pasta is perfect for pots-to-go or even chip cones with a fork. Pizza slices, chicken fingers or quesadillas can also be served in a cone.
✔ Thicken soups/sauces with pureed vegetables/reductions, not flour or fat ✔ Avoid adding salt when boiling starchy foods or vegetables
Healthy grab & go ideas Quesadillas

Snack Attack! Snacks can play an important role in managing kids’ hunger and boosting nutrition. A well-timed snack can even cut spikes in hunger and provide a much-needed energy boost between meals. Snacks can keep younger children from getting so hungry that they have a loss in concentration and they can stop older kids from overeating at larger meals. For picky eaters of all ages, snacks can be added insurance that they’re getting the necessary nutrients.

Sweet Success! Desserts Desserts have great pulling power when it comes to children’s decisions regarding whether to have hot school meals or not. They offer a great way of encouraging the consumption of fruit and healthier cereals, children will always want to see familiar favourites from the high street on their school menu and offering both hot and cold options will ensure that children have a choice. Personalisation is a huge consumer trend and this goes for inside dining halls too. Yoghurt is a great customisable option which allows pupils to create their own dessert with an array of additional extras such as fruit and granola. There are many ways in which caterers can get more nutrition into desserts with the help of fruit. From blackberries and bananas to pomegranates and pears there are countless toppings that caterers can add.

With childhood obesity on the rise, developing healthy food habits in primary school children has never been more important. Almost one in four children entering primary school are either overweight or obese. On average, primary school-aged children should have a maximum of 21g of free sugars across the whole day, it was found that often there was an average of 13g of free sugars – over half the recommended daily limit.
Top Tips to be Sugar Smart ✔ Make sure your portion sizes are to the current school food standards size ✔ Replace sugar with dried or fresh fruit to add natural sweetness ✔ Replace flavoured yoghurts with natural yoghurt and create healthy toppings to add flavour ✔ Introduce at least 50% fruit desserts on each menu
The Actions The biggest actions set up to tackle this has been the Sugar Smart campaign which is run by Sustain. Their aim is to help local authorities, organisations, workplaces and individuals to reduce the amount of sugar that they consume. Another action is the Sugar Tax or Soft Drinks Industry Levy, this was started on the 6th of April 2018 and forms part of the government’s plan to reduce childhood obesity by encouraging manufacturers to reduce the sugar contents of soft drinks. Funds from the levy go towards breakfast clubs and physical activity programmes in schools.

Updated Legislation The Food for Life Served Here Award is an independent endorsement, backed by annual inspections, for food providers who are taking steps to improve the food they serve.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage and reward caterers who: • • • •
Serve fresh food Source environmentally sustainable and ethical food Make healthy eating easy Champion local food producers
Food for Life Served Here A Food for Life Served Here award in a school means meals are cooked from scratch, using sustainable fish, free range eggs and ingredients that can be traced back to the farm. The scheme has published updated standards to its silver and gold awards that have been in effect since September 2018. Caterers will soon have additional options to choose from to achieve the silver or gold standards, these have been updated to ensure that the standards closely align with public health priorities. They also ensure that caterers who are required to meet national guidelines at bronze, such as in schools and early years, are rewarded for the additional healthy eating steps they take at silver and gold. The public health agenda is sharply focused on tackling obesity and encouraging healthy eating. Under the revised standards, silver and gold award holders will demonstrate best practice in key areas such as the use of salt, sugar and wholemeal options.
What’s new at a glance? • New ethical and environmentally friendly food standards to reward caterers who avoid, or use more sustainable palm oil and who serve organic fairly traded drinks • Revised options have been added for caterers to gain points towards silver or gold by encouraging healthier choices through display and marketing • Updated making healthy eating easy standards will be easier to understand 11
Food Waste What is Food Waste/Food Loss? Food wastage is becoming ever prevalent and two terms in particular head up this discussion; food loss and food waste - it is important to recognise the difference between both. Food Loss – occurs between production and retail Food Waste – occurs between retail and consumption The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) recognise that the highest food waste emerges in western countries (occurring at household level) whilst developing countries are more likely to suffer from food loss (an effect of inefficiencies from harvesting to distribution).
Top Tips! Keep track! – Make note of what you have used and keep track of use-by dates. Take pictures of your cupboards or shelves…a ‘shelfie’! Plan plan plan! – Plan the meals you will prepare and incorporate any leftovers into a future meal plan. Utilise the freezer – Batch cooking and freezing can save you time and reduce the amount of food waste. Composting – Any food waste that does accumulate can be combined with garden soil to produce compost. This compost is great for growing root veg and herbs.
In a time when sustainability is at the forefront, organisations big and small throughout the supply chain are becoming increasingly motivated to tackle their environmental footprint. A big way of combatting this is by targeting food loss and waste. One third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted from ‘farm to fork’. This equates to approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of global produce every year, enough to feed two billion people.

Government Initiatives On 1 October 2018, the government announced a pilot initiative to reduce food waste in the UK and redistribute surplus food to charities. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) launched a scheme supported by £15 million of additional government funding that has been allocated specifically to tackle food waste. The volume of food waste in the UK totals 10.2 million tonnes per year of which 1.8 million tonnes comes from food manufacture, 1 million tonnes from hospitality and 260,000 tonnes from retail with the remainder (7,140,000 million tonnes) from households.

The Big SleepOut On Wednesday 10 October, Chris Creed (CEO), Phil Vickery MBE (Non-Executive Director) and Rob Owen (Executive Development Chef) participated in The Big SleepOut in aid of the Caring for Communities and People (CCP) charity. The event was organised to raise awareness of homelessness and to help countywide vulnerable families tackling problems. Seventy business leaders from Gloucestershire joined CCP for one night at the Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester to support the charity and fundraise for a series of winter shelters. The shelters will be in place from December to February as a place of refuge during the severe winter months. In preparation for the night ahead, Chris, Phil and Rob took to the Creed development kitchen and cooked up a warming vegan curry one-pot to serve. CCP raised a total a £50k.
Creed Active Champions and Active Gloucestershire recognised the importance of keeping regularly hydrated, especially in a workplace environment. Staying hydrated can help fight fatigue and increase brain activity throughout the day. Tom Workman (Commercial Trader) spoke with our largest soft drinks supplier, Britvic, about the Creed Active initiative and as a result they offered to support the cost of supplying branded water bottles to every employee throughout the Creed business. “It is fantastic to work with collaborative suppliers such as Britvic, who support internal Creed initiatives and staff. It reinforces that our brand partners view Creed Foodservice as a long-term, sustainable distribution partner rather than a company simply delivering their boxes!” Tom Workman (Commercial Trader)
Education ‘Trend & Try’ On Tuesday 16 October 2018, Creed held an Education sector focus Trend and Try event at the Foodworks Cookery School in Cheltenham. The session focussed on emerging food trends, challenges affecting educational organisations and new recipe ideas. Prospective Creed supplier, Green Gourmet, showcased poultry and fish products compliant for primary education and representatives from Nestle offered menu innovation using their Maggi range. Our Executive Development Chef, Rob Owen, cooked up Calder readymade fillings used for grab-and-go dishes. Representatives from Northwick Manor Primary School, Seven Fields Primary School and Accolade Wines attended alongside Creed new starters.
Creed wore pink! On Friday 19 October employees across our three depots wore pink in aid of October Breast Cancer Awareness month and to raise money for Cobalt Imaging charity. Cobalt is a charity that has been supporting breast cancer services since 1990 and is raising funds for new specialist diagnostic equipment at the Thirlestaine Breast Centre in Cheltenham. The new equipment includes a 3D mammography system, which enables more accurate diagnosis than the conventional 2D machines. Our donation of £193.24 will go towards the provision of the new mammography equipment. 14
