100 UK hospitals are going to be including vegan options on their menus for patients, following catering company Anglia Crown including it on their menus. The meals are registered with The Vegan Society, and they believe that the new meals “have the potential to influence the inclusivity, sustainability and nutritional quality of menus across the UK.”
Heather Russell, dietician at The Vegan Society said: “We are pleased Anglia Crown are so enthusiastic about providing nutritious food that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike. The Vegan Trademark is a beacon to catering services looking to enhance their vegan offerings. I enjoyed talking to Anglia Crown about creating nourishing vegan options, and I hope that other manufacturers will be inspired to develop their vegan ranges too.” The dishes that are suitable for vegans are a butternut squash curry, Moroccan vegetable tagine and a pasta peperonata, however the hospitals which this food is available in has not been confirmed.
