Nutritional & Balanced Meals! Nutritionally-speaking, there is no other caterer like "Kidssentials - The Catering Service for Kids" and the Hot Lunch Programme, "Nutritious Delicious Day"! All Kidssentials' lunches consist of a main entrée, veggies + dip, a beverage and dessert Our desserts are preservative, additive and peanut-free - just delicious A Kidssentials' lunch will never include pop, chips or popcorn. Quality is always a top priority when preparing meals and emphasis is placed on healthy options! Kidssentials uses only quality name brand products and fresh produce 100% all beef and white meat chicken are used - Main entrées are baked or broiled resulting in lower fat, and higher quality. Veggies + dip accompany all meals. Hot food is hot, Cold food is cold! Healthy Eating does not mean having to consume bland, flavourless, unappealing foods - At Kidssentials it means wholesome, satisfying and delicious! Healthy preparation! Stringent processes are in place to ensure that all meals are prepared under the safest conditions. Allergy-conscious! Kitchens are peanut free Safety in the Kitchen! Kidssentials' kitchens are clean and Health Board Certified Kid-Safe Food!! Kidssentials always carefully chooses its ingredients & makes as its priority the safe preparation of its kid-friendly food! For example we use whole carrots, cut by hand in Kidssentials' kitchens versus using baby style or genetically modified carrots which are not as safe for young children! Served Fresh on-site Not Pre-packaged! To maintain the required temperature, as dictated by the Health Department, and to preserve the texture and quality of our food, Kidssentials' meals are assembled fresh and served hot on-site at your school. This is very important! Compare with... other school catering services, and the concern with food brought to the school having been individually pre-packaged where hot food may cool to below safe temperatures, and cold items to warm above a safe temperature.
