Many consumers believe they should have the choice to eat healthily when they eat out. Caterers can potentially make a tremendous contribution to improving health by providing healthier food choices.

Southern Group Environmental Health Committee in conjunction with the five constituent Councils has developed the CHOICE initiative to help businesses assess current nutritional standards.

A certificate of participation is issued to businesses that have implemented necessary changes as recognition of improved nutritional standards and availability of healthier options for customers.

This initiative is open to all catering establishments including takeaways, restaurants, sandwich bars etc.
