*While the majority of the our grab-and-go recipes use whole-food ingredients, we know ready-made products are used daily in canteens as a quick, easy, and cost-effective option. As a result, we have decided to include some convenience products in a small number of our recipes to create familiar textures and flavours. They also offer a significantly lower carbon footprint than animal-based alternatives
