How do I apply for a Healthier Options Award, or obtain further information?
Simply contact a member of the Food Services Team or Mrs Mary Smyth on 01482 396283 or Jemma Dann, Food Standards Officer on 01482 396231 or email the team at food.services@eastriding.gov.uk We will send you a Healthier Options Award checklist ( General Checklist), ( Takeaway Checklist), which contains a summary of the points you will be assessed against. You can use this to see if you meet the required criteria and then return this to the Food Services Team to start the application process. We will also send you our advice document `A guide to making the food you serve healthier`, which may assist you in making the necessary changes to meet the criteria to make your menu healthier. In addition to this we also have specific guides for Chinese, Indian, Italian, and Mexican restaurants/takeaways which will be sent out to the relevant premises.
