Raisin the bar

The prize includes a trip to attend the School Nutrition Annual Conference in July, which this year will be held in Las Vegas. The business will be represented by divisional director Mark Davies. The entry for the competition was based upon the imaginative use of raisins on the school menus, including main meals, salads and desserts as well as making them available as snacks throughout the day. The judges praised ISS Caterhouse for their commitment to good quality food, dedication, training, innovation and getting the children involved. Fruit and vegetables are key to a healthier lifestyle. Currently average fruit and vegetable consumption in England is estimated to be less than three portions a day. Davies will be representing ISS at the School Nutrition Association's premier event. The conference is designed to put a spotlight on innovative ideas and solutions, allowing ISS Caterhouse to be the first in the UK to introduce new ideas.
