There is a growing trend among school canteens approaching dieticians to help assist in putting together a healthy options menu. But running a healthy yet profitable school canteen is made easy by choosing products that are proven popular among students.

Canteens can easily fill their menu by making sure products:

1. Meet nutritional requirements set by State Government
2. Are good value to remain profitable
3. Appeal to children
4. Are portion-controlled for ease of use, removing the guesswork for canteen staff
5. Are pre-cooked products, which reduces preparation time and increases the safety of the final menu item.

Colonial Farm work with nutritionists and dieticians, to ensure that our products are the best for the needs of the different segments in the market.

Our Healthy Options School Canteen Range consists of 6 portion controlled meal options approved by the National Heart Foundation.  The tick program is the Heart Foundations guide to help you make healthier food choices quickly and easily.

Colonial Farm values the high standards of the Tick program and has worked hard to ensure the Healthy Options range has met the Heart Foundations strict standards for saturated fat, trans fat and sodium. All products have been independently tested and are spot checked to ensure they continue the heart Foundation’s standard.
