Geelong Healthy Catering

Guide

AboutThe Geelong Healthy Catering Guide has been developed by Healthy Together Geelong (HTG) to assist workplaces, associations and groups to make healthier choices when organising catering.

Assessment of all menu items in this guide has been conducted by HTG using the Healthy Choices guidelines. These guidelines use a ‘traffic light’ rating system and only menu items with a Green or Amber rating have been included in this handbook.

All prices within this handbook were correct at time of printing. Prices and availability are subject to change. For updates, please visit www.geelongaustralia.com.au/healthygeelong

If you are a caterer and would like to be involved, please contact Healthy Together Geelong on 5277 3310 or healthycommunities@geelongcity.vic.gov.au

Version 1.1 updated August 2014

Healthy Together GeelongHealthy Together Geelong engages workplaces, schools and early learning centres as well as the community to strengthen Geelong’s health prevention system by addressing the underlying causes of poor health. For more information, go to www.geelongaustralia.com.au/healthygeelong

Achievement ProgramThe Healthy Together Achievement Program provides a framework and supportive resources to workplaces, schools and early childhood services throughout Victoria. This framework aims to promote health and wellbeing by encouraging and supporting healthy behaviours.

We recommend that workplaces refer to this Healthy Catering Guide and include it in the organisation’s health and wellbeing policy. This will help ensure healthy food options are always made available in meetings and events within the workplace. Healthy catering is not only good practice; it is also a component of the Healthy Workplace Achievement Program benchmarks.

How to Use This GuideTo order healthy options from this guide please contact the caterer directly. Contact details for each caterer can be found at the top of their menu.

Icon LegendGREEN = Green category AMBER = Amber category(V) = Vegetarian (GF) = Gluten free p/p = per personS = Small L = Large

Please inform your caterer of any special dietary requirements. Most caterers are able to provide vegetarian and gluten free options.

The Healthy Choice GuidelinesThe Healthy Choice guidelines classify food and drink into three categories according to their nutritional value.

GreenGreen category foods and drinks are the healthiest choices. They are good sources of important nutrients and lower in fat, added sugar and salt. Examples include: breads and cereals, fruit and vegetables, reduced-fat dairy products, lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds.

Amber Amber category foods and drinks should be selected carefully and consumed in moderation. Although amber items may provide some valuable nutrients they can contribute moderate amounts of fat, added sugar or salt. Examples include: regular fat milk, yoghurt and cheese, dried fruit, fruit juice and artificially sweetened drinks.

Red Red category foods are low in nutrients and are high in sugar, fat or salt, and should be eaten rarely and in very small serves. Avoid red category choices in catering. Examples include: Deep fried foods, lollies, chocolates, cakes, chips, pastries and soft drinks.

Remember: Let the caterer know you are ordering from the Geelong Healthy Catering Guide.

Catering Tips

Always provide plain water as an option to drink

Include as many green category options as possible when ordering catering

Offer reduced-fat milk and soy milk (correctly labelled)with tea and coffee

Offer herbal tea and decaf coffee as alternative options

Fruit and vegetables should be included in most of the menu items

Processed meats should be kept to a minimum

Serve spreads and condiments separately and use salt reduced condiments

Use multigrain, wholemeal, rye or other high fibre breads

Reduced-fat products should be used in preference to full fat products

Remember to order for special diets i.e. gluten free, vegetarian

Avoid over-catering

Reduce serving sizes; ask for mini muffins, provide pre cut serves, provide half serves
