Pendle caterers encouraged to join rewards scheme for healthy eating
Catering businesses in Pendle are being encouraged to sign up to a scheme that rewards caterers for offering healthy eating options.
The Recipe 4 Health programme, led by Lancashire County Council, supports takeaways, cafés, and mobile caterers.
To join the scheme, businesses must have a Food Hygiene Rating of three stars or above.
Jamal Dermott, from Lancashire County Council, said: "The Recipe 4 Health scheme rewards food businesses which offer a range of healthier snacks and meals, including salads, food with lower salt and sugar, grilled dishes, smaller portions, and water as an option if people want to avoid sugary fizzy drinks.
"We are urging as many Pendle catering businesses as possible to sign up to the scheme, which has many free benefits.
"These include free promotion of your business; free support in making positive changes to your menus, policies, and practices; and the opportunity to earn £1,000 per week contracts during the school holidays."
Pendle businesses which are Recipe 4 Health accredited can be considered as food providers for the Holiday Activities and Food programme, which provides activities and nutritious meals during school holidays.
