The Soil Association’s Food for Life Catering Mark program, which awards a seal to participating organizations based on the amount of organic ingredients used in meals and other criteria, reports that a more than a million Food For Life meals are served each workday in schools, universities, child care centers, workplaces, hospitals, care homes and restaurants across the UK. Catering Mark meals are now served in over 25% schools in England, 20% universities, 300+ child care centers, and 100+ nursing homes and hospitals. All together, Catering Mark participants spend over £7 million annually on organic ingredients; nearly £4 million on free range and Freedom Food-certified meat, over £1.2 million on LEAF marque certified products and £3.8 million on MSC certified fish.
