We are the UK's leading membership charity campaigning for healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use. The Catering Mark provides an independent endorsement that food providers are taking steps to improve the food they serve, using fresh ingredients which are free from undesirable additives and trans fats, are better for animal welfare, and comply with national nutrition standards. The Catering Mark has been cited by NHS England as a way to improve hospital food, and by the Department of Education as a national framework to support caterers to increase uptake of quality school meals.
