Food for Life Served Here standards
The Food for Life Served Here certification is an independent endorsement backed by annual inspections. It's for food providers who are taking steps to improve the food they serve.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage and reward caterers who:
- serve fresh food
- source environmentally sustainable and ethical food
- make healthy eating easy, and
- champion local food producers.
Public Consultation for the Bronze Standards
Thank you to everyone who took part in our FFLSH Standards Consultation. We had a fantastic response and are now finalising the review. We aim to publish updated standards in the autumn.
Give us your feedback on sustainably sourced fish until 20th June
Complete our 5 minute survey. Share your feedback on the proposed update to the bronze standard on sustainably sourced fish. It will reflect the updated MCS Good Fish Guide.
As part of the final due diligence, we are looking at further amendments to our sustainable fish bronze standard. This is an area where we believe caterers are already doing a fantastic job.
