Trish Smith, Mars Foodservice Marketing Manager explains:
"We're focusing our help to school caterers in two main areas. Obviously helping to meet the new nutritional standards is extremely important to us. Not only have we taken steps to ensure our products are within the 2010 FSA salt guidelines, but many of our sauces are already within the 2012 targets.
"We're also very aware that to encourage uptake of meals the food served has to be interesting and deliver great taste. Uncle Ben's® and Dolmio® sauces are made from the finest ingredients, including fresh herbs, and contain no artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives, so they are as good as kitchen-made - but easier on skill and time demands."
An extensive development project just completed by the company, specifically in the education sector, has demonstrated that their sauces are extremely versatile and very economical. Armed with even a limited range of Uncle Ben's® and Dolmio® sauces, and a little know-how, a school kitchen can produce hundreds of different dishes, and a single jar of sauce can serve up to 75 portions when carefully extended. "Ours is a premium quality product, which when used properly needn't mean a premium cost" says Trish. "Versatility is the key."
At a time when skill levels across school kitchens vary enormously, and time pressures are consistent for everyone, Uncle Ben's® and Dolmio® sauces offer a solution for all. Excellent quality products that are tailored to school catering needs, save kitchen time and help with budget control. They're practical, they're quality, they're economical and they taste great!
