MENU SOLUTION

Catering in the care sector is challenging work at the best of times. Not only do chefs have to cater for residents’ varying tastes while ensuring meals meet required nutritional standards, they are also required to offer enough variety throughout the day, including snacks, that keep residents interested in their food.

BUTCHERY IN CARE

At Creed Family Butchers, we understand the importance of providing high-quality and nutritious meals for residents in care homes. That's why we have developed a specialised range of meats that cater to the unique dietary needs and preferences of care home residents. Our butchery range offers a variety of options that are not only delicious but also meet the highest standards of traceability, welfare, and quality. Care home chefs can trust in our expertise and commitment to providing the best possible products for their residents.

Saffron Nutritional Software

ALLERGEN &
NUTRITIONAL
ANALYSIS

Catering for care home residents is a tricky balance of ensuring meals hit nutritional requirements and aligning with individual dietary needs and medical conditions, whilst being tasty and visually appealing to entice those with low apetites.

Our customers can utilise Saffron Nutritional Software, a tool providing access to an online recipe book, allergen and nutritional reporting and menu costing. As the system is loaded with Creed product detail you can easily create a recipe or menu and add the required products to an order. This is an extremely useful tool for those within a care setting as it allows you to;

- Create and edit recipes to ensure you’re hitting NACC guidelines.
- Ensure your menu aligns with the Public Health England calorie intake guidelines for over 75’s.
- Access live online allergen and nutritional reports for your menu, especially important when caring for residents with specific health or dietary requirements like coeliac disease or diabetes.
