Nutrition and Health Evaluation Let us take a favourite meal, even your bestseller, and work with your chef/cook and produce a low fat alternative. How much salt is there in a recipe? We can tell you!! Whether you are a Hotel, Restaurant, Pub or Care Home healthy eating is never out of the lime light. Pure Training and Consultancy can provide you with the following services:-
The food you offer has to fulfil a variety of consumer needs. What do they want? Would you like Pure Training and Consultancy to ask them? ‘Ignorance is bliss’ as the saying goes. However, current media and public health interest has never been so positive on ways of improving the health of the nation. Interestingly, businesses, organisations and schools do not have to attend a training course on Nutrition & Health. Certainly, the benefits are enormous if you do, but there are other ways! Pure Training and Consultancy are delighted to be able to offer the following services, whether looking at ‘Healthy Business Partnerships’, ‘Well Worker’, or supporting individuals with their own healthier lifestyle. Menu Analysis Using the latest software we can provide detailed nutritional analysis on recipes. The information can be used by Management to reduce salt, fat, sugar or increase fibre, as a general step to improve health. Or, working with Chefs in canteens, we can take each meal (recipe) on offer and analyse it. Then together, we can tweak a recipe to make it healthier. Even sourcing new ingredients from new suppliers. The different ways of using the software enable us to create labels, look at recipe modification and one other useful tool:- Diet Analysis The software enables us to analyse exactly what a person has eaten over the past, day, week, month and print off the nutritional results. How healthy are your staffs? Would you like to make a real difference to their lives? Pure Training and Consultancy can then advise on changes to their diet which could make a real difference to the number of days sick they take, their daily lives and potentially life expectancy. Lunchbox Analysis As explained if you have a canteen, there are a number of ways we can support the menu offering. However, many people bring lunchboxes, and do they really know what they are feeding their body? Is the traditional lunchbox of sandwiches, crisps and a drink healthy? We can provide lunchbox analysis, fact sheets, and displays to get the message across of a ‘healthy lunchbox’. Getting The Message Across Pure Training and Consultancy are delighted to have already worked with a number of different businesses, organisations and schools with ‘healthier eating messages.’ Each client has unique needs, culture and aims. Therefore, Pure Training and Consultancy can tailor the ‘message’ specifically. For example:-
Whatever your message – let Pure Training and Consultancy help you make it really healthy! Food production and manufacturing Think about your business. Are you being inefficient? Is the workflow not logical? Could this be costing you money? Have you got the right equipment for the job? Having worked with major suppliers to supermarkets, in pubs and restaurants, no job is too big or small. Let Pure Training and Consultancy into your business and engineer the systems in place to improve efficiency and profitability. “Blue-sky” The sky is the limit! In an ideal world with no competition you could sell any idea which matched consumer’s needs and wants. But real life and business is not like that. When you change your menus over, seasonally or annually, why not get together with Pure Training and Consultancy and make real “blue-sky” concepts – you never know you may find yourself a real sales winner.
