These commitments build on an existing healthy eating activity and are having a positive impact on over 1.5 million meals served in workplaces every day.
Examples of progress include increasing the range of ingredients that are lower in fat, salt and sugar, increasing training on healthy cooking techniques for chefs and kitchen staff, and extending the number of workplaces operating healthy eating programmes.
These companies have now set themselves further targets, which include increasing the number of staff trained; introducing a greater number of healthier recipes available to chefs, and continuing to review ingredients.
In July, the Agency published similar commitments from a further six workplace caterers. They will report on their progress in February next year.
The Agency is also working closely with some of the biggest pub dining, quick service restaurant, family restaurant and coffee shop chains to encourage similar commitments.
