REFORMULATING FOODS
EFSA GUIDELINES MET!
Both of my children get their lunches through Freshtoday and it’s made such a difference. The meals are healthy, filling, and there’s always plenty of choice - even for my picky eater! It’s so easy to manage everything through the app, and I love knowing they’re getting nutritious food every day at school. Freshtoday has really taken the stress out of school lunches for us.

Industry Leading School Meal Providers
From innovative menus to sustainable sourcing, Freshtoday continues to lead the way in shaping the future of school meals in Ireland.
Working Hand-in-Hand with Irish Growers
By sourcing locally whenever possible and choosing ingredients that are in season, we help reduce food miles while supporting local suppliers and communities. We also look further afield when needed, as local and Irish produce naturally has a limited seasonal range. This allows us to offer greater variety throughout the year while still prioritising quality, freshness and responsible sourcing.
For parents, this means peace of mind knowing their child’s school meals are made with wholesome, quality ingredients.
