How we cook regionally

We love variety

Breakfast and Snacks

Substantial, energising, fresh. Like wholemeal bread with house-made jam and a side of crudités or fresh fruit. Or perhaps muesli – low-sugar, of course – or hand-stirred quark.

Lunch

A wide variety, nutritious, to your needs. From DGE-certified, to vegetarian, to organic, to fish: you and your child select dishes together in the app.

Cafeteria

Light, tasty, on-trend. Cold and hot snacks team up with beverages to satisfy hungry tummies in-between meals.

Beverages

Refreshing and energising. Feeling sluggish or having trouble concentrating? Water, milk and unsweetened tea to the rescue!

Packed Lunches

Delicious, filling, ready to go. Go for our nutritious packed lunches for school outings.

Special meals

Made with care, flexible, attentive. For children with food allergies or intolerances, we offer specially prepared meals. We also accommodate ethnic and religious dietary preferences.

Frequently asked questions

Which quality standards do you apply to ensure high-quality meals?

Our well-balanced meals for day care centres and schools are based on the quality standards and recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). Many of our kitchens have had a dedicated menu line for both day care and school meals based on DGE quality standards. We give preference to seasonal and regional products from certified suppliers. At VielfaltMenü, we define regional products as products from Germany that are seasonally available in Germany. We prefer to source our ingredients from growing regions where they can grow and ripen naturally.

Our quality management is based on the following four
pillars:

We comply with all legal requirements of the German Food Hygiene Regulation (LMHV).
We apply quality and environmental management systems according to DIN EN ISO 9001 / 14001.
We have external inspections, regular audits and certifications carried out.
We conduct strict audits of our suppliers to ensure compliance with quality and environmental standards.

Where do you source the ingredients for your school lunches?

We source our fruit and vegetables, whenever possible, from Germany and many are produced sustainably. This supports regional producers, strengthens the local economy and actively contributes to climate protection.
When purchasing, we pay attention to species-appropriate husbandry and generally source beef, pork and poultry from Germany. The animals that nourish us should live well in stables and on pastures. That is why our suppliers actively follow species-appropriate husbandry practices, for animals’ well-being.
VielfaltMenü procures baked goods exclusively from small and medium-sized companies. This strengthens local businesses and regional food traditions while also keeping transport distances to a minimum.

Do you use seasonal and local foods?

We give preference to seasonal and regional products from certified suppliers. We define regional products as products from Germany that are seasonally available in Germany. We prefer to source our ingredients from growing regions where they can grow and ripen naturally. Are you interested in learning more about VielfaltMenü's commitment to regional products?
