The scheme endorses the Santa Maria products that can help caterers achieve specific standards for the Food for Life Bronze, Silver and Gold Catering Mark awards.
Eimear Owens, country sales manager - UK & Ireland, Santa Maria Foodservice, said: “At Santa Maria we’re all about making it easier for schools, hospitals and universities to deliver great tasting, healthy food.
“It’s fantastic to see our dry spices and organic range improving the nutrition of lunchtime meals for children, patients and students across the country.
“The Food for Life Catering Mark programme has proven very successful in focusing the attention of caterers on the ingredients they use and improving the food they serve.
“We will continue to work closely with caterers to show how Santa Maria can help them serve up Catering Mark success.”
The Catering Mark provides an independent endorsement that caterers are taking steps to improve the food they serve. The Supplier Scheme endeavours to support this work by helping suppliers understand the Catering Mark and provide their caterers with the products and support they need.
