FOOD SAFETY

Kitchen hygiene and food safety

Good food safety means not giving bacteria a chance to get comfortable. Proper cleaning requires hot soapy water and a good scrub.

HEALTHY EATING

Fibre

When it comes to preventing constipation and maintaining your gut health, fibre is the way to go, along with plenty of fluid intake. However many of us don’t eat enough each day.

Why not choose wholegrain pitta pockets instead of white pitta pockets? Wholegrain versions are higher in fibre!
