Welcome to the nutrition pages of the Brakes website. Here you will find information on healthy eating, our Healthier Choices product range, special dietary needs, guideline daily amount (GDAs), children’s food, school meals and links to useful nutrition websites.

Brakes take nutrition very seriously and we were the first foodservice company to appoint a dedicated Dietitian over 20 years ago. We also added a fully qualified Nutritionist to our team in 2002.

We work closely with the Food Standards Agency, the DfES and the School Food Trust on a number of key health and nutrition issues. We are also members of the Industry Nutrition Steering Group, Institute of Grocery Distribution, the Foodservice Industry Panel and we also work together with organisations such as the British Hospitality Association, Local Authorities Caterers Association and Hospital Caterers Association.

As part of our commitment to healthy eating, we have been working hard to reduce the salt content where possible in all of our products. This is in addition to the introduction of our Healthier Choices range, which includes more than 50 products that meet our strict fat, salt and sugar criteria.
