nutrition education
Historically, CIR food has invested many human, financial, technological and planning resources to develop the food services that it delivers to schools, becoming the Italian leader in this sector. It operates in hundreds of Italian towns and serves about 200,000 students of various ages. With such high number of operations many different needs must be addressed, and Cir food is in a unique position to offer efficient and custom tailored solutions to satisfy any requirement.
CIR food offers food services to schools that rely on nutrition models that appeal to children, are mindful of their health, but, above all, encourage them to follow a correct approach to food by experimenting with different flavors and learning to appreciate recipes that nicely blend various tastes.
To emphasize the experience of discovering new flavors, CIR food designs its menus to include traditional local specialties, but also introduce its “little consumers” to dishes from other cultures.
The menus are periodically changed depending on the feedback received from the consumers, which is verified through tasting-workshops attended by groups of children that in each school represent permanent quality control groups as they express their opinions on the quality of the dishes included in the standard menu and on the service, as well as their reaction to the introduction of new flavors through particular recipes.
Within the context of school education, the learning of healthy nutritional habits plays a role that can not be disregarded. Getting children to eat fruits or vegetables, for instance, has traditionally been a problem, but according to Cir food’s experience, it is possible to provide incentives by adopting small and still efficient initiatives.
CIR food has always been involved in nutrition education programs aimed at families, children and teachers; good health starts with good eating habits acquired during childhood.
