The range of desserts and snacks contain approximately 30% less sugar, fat and calories than the caterer’s traditional recipes.
Dine Contract Catering Nutritionist Roz Witney, said: “We serve over 35,000 people every day across 190 workplaces and care homes across the country, which is why we’ve recognised the responsibility we have to help drive changes in the nation’s eating habits.
“If the Food Industry as a whole doesn’t find a way to reduce the sugar in the foods we buy and produce, the general population hasn’t a hope of coming anywhere near the ‘free sugar’ limits of approximately seven teaspoons per day as recommended by the Report.
“Our desserts have been created to appeal to as many tastes as possible and to bridge the gap between traditional treats that are typically high in sugar and the healthy alternatives currently on the market, which can sometimes lack in flavour.”
The newly reformulated desserts include Skinny Chocolate Muffins, Brain Boosting Carrot and Coconut Slices and Sweet Potato Brownies.
