read moreHealthy Food Solutions is a food and nutrition consultancy based in the North East of England. We work with food businesses of all sizes from universities and schools to pubs and retailers. With over 20 years' combined catering, training and consultancy experience, we know a thing or two about food. We want to work with you, get to know your business, your ethos and understand your requirements. We can help you grow and be better and what you do by supporting you to produce, sell or cook the best food possible.

read moreDid you know most consumers are now acutely aware of nutritional messages and with so many people making buying decisions based on how much fat/salt/sugar or how many calories food has, can you afford not to provide it? Perhaps you would like to inform your customers that a particular recipe is low in fat? Or maybe your business has grown and you need nutritional information for labelling purposes? Whatever the reason, if you want to know the nutritional content of your food, we can provide it.

read moreThe catering sector can be tough, no doubt. Whether you're a small retailer, an established restaurant or even a manufacturer, making food is not easy. There are difficult decisions to make, staff to manage, laws to comply with and the costs can be astronomical. Sometimes, you need a little help. That's where we come in. We have expertise in the catering industry and experience of the day-to-day problems you might come across. Or, if you just want someone to bounce ideas off and give you some guidance in the right direction we can do that too!

read moreWhether you buy it, make it, cook it or sell it, your food is who you are; it says a lot about you and your business. Therefore, it's important to get it right. Your menu should stand out and reflect your business; the recipes should give a long lasting memory. In short, when customers buy your food, they are judging you. At Healthy Food Solutions food is what we do best. We love food: planning new recipes and creating new and exciting dishes (and of course, tasting the results!). We want to work with you to create the best possible menus and recipes that will wow your customers.

read moreThis course is designed to help you to achieve a 5 star rating by outlining the criteria that will be covered and helping to ensure you are compliant with food safety standards. As part of the course, you carry out a ‘self-audit' that will highlight any areas you need to improve. On the 13th December 2014 the new European legislation, Food Information Regulations for Consumers (EUFIC) came into force. If you sell food to the public, it will affect you. This course will help you understand how to label food in accordance with the new legislation.

read moreWe provided consultancy services on the University's menus, audited all the retail and catered food service outlets, and provided advice and guidance on allergen and nutritional compliance. We trained all the food service managers in allergens for EUFIC 2014. We provided nutritional analysis (information) on a selection of Ryvita's recipes and toppings for their website. We created the original crispbread recipe for Freed Foods. Given a brief of a Swiss-style gluten free flatbread, we developed the product through a series of testing and refinements until we found something that worked.
