Food for Life Scotland
Food for Life Scotland aims to make good food the easy choice for everyone. We focus on the power of public food and its potential to have a positive impact on health, the environment, and the local economy. To achieve this, we work in partnership with public sector catering teams.
Our key focus is on getting more fresh, sustainable, local food onto school dinner plates across Scotland. We do this by supporting local authorities to achieve the Food for Life Served Here certification for their school meals service.
If you see a Food for Life Served Here logo you know that the majority of the food on the menu will be freshly prepared, and it will always be free from undesirable trans fats, sweeteners, and additives. Caterers making Food for Life Served Here-certified meals use free-range eggs and meat that can be traced back to the farm, as well as ingredients from sustainable and ethical sources.
