DIET CODES & ICONS
Dietary Codes and Labelling
To ensure each meal is suitable for your residents / patients, our in-house dietitians and nutritionists have reviewed our full range and used clear dietary symbols to indicate meal suitability for specialist diets. The guide below will help you work out what you’re looking for when choosing from our meal ranges.
Please use our meal filter on the left of our website to allow you to filter meals based on your residents' or patients’ dietary needs.

Traffic Lights
We also use the well-known 'traffic light' system on all of our meals so our customers know exactly what they are eating.
This labelling is clearly stated on the packaging of our meals, in our brochure and displayed on our website to make it nice and easy for customers when ordering our meals. It shows whether the meal contains low, medium or high amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt through traffic light colour coding.
