The German Nutrition Society (DGE) confirms that Casino Campus North offers lunches and snacks that meet the requirements of the DGE Quality Standard for Catering in the Workplace.

The following quality areas were reviewed:

• foods offered for lunch and snacks (quality and frequency)

• menu planning and food preparation

• hygiene aspects / legal framework / quality management system

• setting and environment (“Lebenswelt”)

All dishes and products that meet the standard are marked in the menu with the Job&Fit logo.

What is the aim of the DGE Quality Standard?

The DGE Quality Standard supports those responsible for workplace catering in providing a health-promoting and sustainable food offer in at least one menu line. This enables guests to choose from an appropriate range of options for breakfast, snacks and lunch.

Based on the current scientific evidence, the DGE Quality Standard defines criteria for optimal, health-promoting and sustainable catering. Each organisation can implement the standard step by step at its own pace. Every improvement in catering quality contributes to healthier and more sustainable nutrition for employees.

Most of the criteria relate to how catering is organised. They are structured along the process chain consisting of five steps: planning, purchasing, preparation, serving, and disposal and cleaning. These process steps can significantly influence the nutritional quality of food and beverages and set key directions for sustainable nutrition.
