Eat well with Pas-de-Calais

Whether it is their growth or their academic success, for middle school students, eating well is a crucial issue. Aware of the importance for young people to have access to food adapted to their needs, the Department has chosen to continue its work of constantly improving the quality of the school catering offer offered in the Pas -de-Calais.

Community commitment hammered out as part of its mandate project, the community wishes to continue to offer all college students a balanced, sustainable and quality diet at an affordable price.

Fresh, local and organic products

For this reason, the Department maintains a careful commitment to increase the share of ingredients from local and organic farming. An approach that benefits everyone to the extent that responsible public procurement focused on local stakeholders makes it possible to guarantee quality food for college students, at a reasonable price for their parents, while helping to support local farmers keen to develop practices more respectful of the environment and biodiversity.

More than a simple declaration of intention, this desire is translated into strong actions, particularly with regard to the choices made for the layout and organization of school catering.

Setting up real kitchens adapted to working with fresh produce, for example with the setting up of vegetable counters, continuing training for chefs, awareness-raising work on the fight against food waste, nothing is left to chance so that the chefs and their teams can work in the kitchen with good products, in good conditions, and offer a school catering offer that meets the needs of college students, but also to their taste!
