Within its core multiportion range, the meal provider has introduced new Jumbo Salmon Fingers, made with wild salmon. Apetito says this is a great way to get oily fish onto the menu, as this versatile dish can be served up in sandwiches, wraps or with potatoes for a balanced and satisfying option.
The new range also sees the introduction of a Katsu Curry Sauce, pairing with breaded chicken and enabling customers to improve their everyday dishes. Apetito’s new Mushy Peas are made with selected AA-grade peas to deliver a vibrant flavour - the perfect accompaniment to many meals.
The company is also introducing more desserts. Its new Apricot Crumble is made with 50% fruit filling and topped with a oat crumble topping, making it a healthier choice, whilst still packed with flavour.
The new plant-based Coconut Rice Pudding is made without the 14 major allergens, whilst Gluten Free Vanilla Sponge is ‘light, soft and comforting’. Both dishes have been designed so they can be customised with a wide range of toppings to suit all tastes.
Apetito has also expanded its plated CarteChoix range for hospitals. Following customer feedback received at its 25-year celebration event, the meal provider has worked to develop a new Salmon & Broccoli Pasta for hospital menus. Alongside this is a Cottage Pie, packed full of meat and pulses to deliver a favourite dish that supports more sustainable eating.
Neil Hargreaves, general manager for healthcare at Apetito, said: “As we look ahead to the warmer months, we’re thrilled to be expanding our range with dishes that bring fresh, seasonal flavours and even greater choice to patients.
“Every new product has been crafted with the same commitment to quality, taste, and inclusivity, ensuring that no matter the dietary need, there is always something delicious and satisfying on the menu. This latest launch reflects the ideas and feedback that our customers continue to share with us, from the desire for vibrant summer dishes to more environmentally conscious options.
“Our mission has always been simple: to create food that not only tastes great but supports health, wellbeing, and offers a real choice for everyone. These new options deliver on that promise, bringing brighter flavours and nutritious options to the patients we serve.”
