Adrian Greaves, McCain Foodservice Associate Director states: "Purely Potato cuts through the confusion around school meals. For each cooking method we have added information to help caterers know how often they can be served under current regulations. And it's great to know that Purely Potato has just 0.1% fat, 0.1% saturated fat and 0.1% sodium"
Judy Hargadon, Chief Executive of the School Food Trust comments, "It is great to see product innovation designed to tackle and help school caterers achieve the new food based standards. Clear and transparent labelling makes it easier for caterers, and we hope this example set by McCain, will be adopted by other food manufacturers."
Barnfield West Academy, Luton - Maureen Weaver, Kitchen Manager comments: "We found the range to be a great addition to the menu, especially since we have not served chips since the introduction of the new regulations.
"We served the dice as a potato option three times a week and it was always the children's favourite, even to the extent of asking for it on the days when we had alternative potato products available."
Challney High School (Secondary School) Luton - Lesley Turner, Kitchen Manager said: "Striking a balance between providing healthy, nutritious school dinners and giving children the food they love has become increasingly challenging since the introduction of the new regulations. At Challney High School Luton, we have witnessed a drop in school dinner uptake but welcome the proactive attempts by McCain to create exciting and innovative products to try and reverse the trend."
