“Market research linked to product development provides new menu options across the foodservice sector” Turning the public sector into business success
A new, informative guide to help caterers, suppliers and buyers of red meat maximise their business potential in the public sector has been launched by BPEX and EBLEX.
The guide ‘PFSPI Compact; Red Meat’, provides key information about public sector tenders: where to find them and how to respond, effective industry collaboration and the importance of responsible red meat sourcing.
Quality and assurance are central to the Government's Public Sector Food Procurement Initiative (PSFPI) and the guide will help raise awareness of the red meat quality schemes in place. Assurance schemes, such as those run by EBLEX for beef and lamb and BPEX for pork, bacon, sausages and ham provide guarantees about the traceability and standards of food purchased, ensuring that food safety, hygiene and animal welfare standards are maintained at a high level.
When supplying local education and healthcare authorities, food safety is a key concern, as is balanced nutrition. Red meat is an excellent source of protein and minerals, aiding growth, healing and the general functioning of the body and the A5 sized booklet provides a clear overview of these nutritional benefits.
It also offers concise information about Halal meat production and certification, as well as information for procurement departments on where to find the best beef, lamb and pork specifications suited to public sector catering.
So for caterers and suppliers looking to maximise opportunities in this sector, the ‘PFSPI Compact; Red Meat’ guide is a unique tool that will benefit any business.
