Helping schools deliver good nutrition

Providing students with healthy, balanced meals is fundamental to supporting their physical health, concentration and learning outcomes. But achieving this — while keeping costs under control and staying compliant with food standards — can be a major challenge.

Registered Dietitian Juliette Kellow explored the positive impact of good nutrition on pupil performance in her article for Litmus Partnership. Yet for many schools, time and resource constraints make developing and managing menus a complex, time-consuming process.

That’s where Litmus Edge comes in.

Our system automates and simplifies the process — linking nutritional data, allergens, supplier information and menu planning tools — so schools can deliver healthier menus with less effort and greater accuracy.
