Commit to providing healthy plant-based food as the default option in catering services and completely stop serving processed meat in hospitals through strategic initiatives by 2030.
Suggested activities to achieve outcome:
- Co-development of a structural framework toward making hospital food healthy and predominantly plant-based by the Department of Health and Social Care and Greener NHS.
- Mapping of strategic initiatives in place in different hospitals within the UK to promote plant-based food and dairy alternatives and remove red meat and processed meat from menus.
- Putting innovative strategies in place such as replanning menus and making plant-based food the default option.
- Prioritise plant-based cooking training at NHS Chef’s Academy.
- Demonstrate this commitment by signing the Plant-Based Treaty.
