The Catering Mark Supplier Scheme

Bringing caterers and suppliers together to provide fresh food you can trust

“The Catering Mark Supplier Scheme is a great opportunity to bring caterers and suppliers closer together.” Mark Davies, ISS Education

More and more caterers are serving fresh, healthy food, and asking us to provide independent endorsement of their great work. The Catering Mark is a symbol of trust which looks at the issues that people really care about.

Over 600,000 Catering Mark meals are now served every day in schools, hospitals, universities, nurseries and staff restaurants. We're working with some of the biggest contract caterers within the UK foodservice industry.

As the Catering Mark grows, so does demand for products that meet the Standards.

Our new scheme helps suppliers meet this demand

The Catering Mark Supplier Scheme is a Soil Association best-practice scheme for wholesalers, ingredient suppliers and food producers for the catering industry. The scheme will help suppliers to:

•     Find new routes to market and reach new customers
•     Gain a competitive edge
•     Align yourself with a rapidly growing best-practice scheme
•     Gain recognition for your great work
•     Opportunities to feed back on Catering Mark consultations, and to recieve updates of scheme developments
