The law of 30 October 2018 known as “EGalim I” and the law of 22 August 2021 known as “Climate & Resilience” set ambitious targets for mass catering establishments. These many changes will enable us to make the transition to a high-quality, sustainable food supply.
All mass catering establishments must offer at least 50% quality, sustainable products, including at least 20% organic products.
As of 1 November 2019, school canteens must offer at least one vegetarian menu a week.
Encouraging the mass catering industry, which serves 3.7 billion meals a year, to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable diet. The overriding challenge is to improve the relationship between farmers and citizens, by encouraging them to consume local, quality produce.
This measure notably applies to products displaying SIQOs (official signs of identification of quality and origin) such as Organic products, Label Rouge products, designations of origin (PDO/French AOC), geographical indications (PGI), fair trade products and other labels. To meet this challenge, you can choose Panzani Solutions Organic products, sourced from organic farming and whose distribution is controlled by Ecocert.
The Organic range includes pasta as well as couscous and purées! A wide range you can use to cook Organic, tasty, balanced meals.
Panzani Solutions markets Couscous and Pasta made from 100% French durum wheat grown on High Environmental Value level 3 farms (the highest level of environmental certification for farms).
What lies behind this certification?
This is the perfect solution for tasty, varied dishes that also comply with the EGalim law and its requirement for 50% quality, sustainable products!
Panzani Solutions is proud to introduce the very first Label Rouge extra-fine semolina on the market! This label confers top quality to our French semolina, since it meets demanding specifications.
Made from carefully selected durum wheat, Label Rouge extra-fine semolina has a bright yellow colour, a great ability to withstand cooking and a firm texture. It also guarantees the semolina has a homogeneous grain size, ideal for making fresh pasta, as well as gnocchi and various desserts and pastries…
Label Rouge extra-fine semolina is the perfect solution to vary your menus and offer quality meals, while meeting the requirements of the EGalim law!
As of 1 November 2019, school canteens must offer at least one vegetarian menu a week. In addition, all collective restaurants serving more than 200 diners a day on average are required to draw up a multi-year protein diversification plan including plant-based protein alternatives.
To help you diversify your protein intake, you can select quality products such as Veggie Bolognese. Made with plant protein. Bolognese is a popular dish with the younger generation, and it’s easy to make a tasty and delicious 100% vegetarian dish.
You can also suggest recipes based on egg pasta: they have a high protein content, and are perfect for vegetarian menus.
Semi-wholewheat pasta is ideal for tasty vegetarian menus providing a source of fibre: Wholemeal starches, which are strongly recommended by the PNNS1, are a perfect alternative to meat when served with legumes.
