Anglia Crown's wholegrain carbohydrate meals
Prepared food maker Anglia Crown has added 11 new products to its portfolio of meals for the care and healthcare markets, including the introduction of wholegrain carbohydrates into its mainstream ranges.
This reflects current public health advice to choose wholegrain carbohydrates, as advocated in the UK government’s Eatwell Guide. Figures from The National Diet and Nutrition Survey reveal that no age group in the UK is currently meeting their recommended intake of fibre. In addition, many consumers don’t know how much fibre they should be eating or where to find it.
The new Anglia Crown products, launching at the Hospital Caterers Association (HCA) forum on 2nd -3rd April in Liverpool, are part of Anglia Crown’s Crown Advantage and Crown Choice ranges.
All 11 dishes have been developed by Anglia Crown’s team of food technologists with guidance from their company dietitian.
Mary Wedge, business development manager at Anglia Crown, commented: “We are delighted to launch our new range of products, including wholegrain carbohydrates. We are confident these products will be a big hit with the healthcare and care markets. As an award-winning supplier working with around 100 hospital sites and various care homes in the UK, we will continue to bring fresh new ideas and innovations to foodservice.”
