Transparency You Can Trust: Nutrition & Allergen Information at Your Fingertips
Safe, Nutritious, and Inclusive Meals for Every Student
SERVING SCHOOLS WITH HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL MEALS
At Freshtoday, we believe in being completely transparent about what goes into our food—because parents, schools, and students deserve to know.
We’re proud to serve nutritious, balanced meals made from quality ingredients with no additives or preservatives in the vast majority of our dishes. Our recipes are designed to meet national school nutrition guidelines while also catering to real-life dietary needs, including allergen-free options, plant-based meals, and dishes tailored for sensory sensitivities.
Our standard meals contain no artificial additives or preservatives, with hidden vegetables and lentils added to sauces for extra fibre and nutrition. We offer over 35 plant-based options each week, with 20% of meals considered low-fat and several that are completely allergen-free and clearly marked. Allergen-friendly options can be filtered easily through our app, and all meals are developed in line with Healthy Ireland guidelines using in-house, vegetable-rich sauces like our Ballymaloe base pulsed with extra veg.
14 Major Allergens
At Freshtoday, food safety comes first. We are fully compliant with EU food legislation, which requires clear labelling of the 14 major allergens. These include:
Gluten, Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Peanuts, Soybeans, Milk, Nuts, Celery, Mustard, Sesame Seeds, Sulphur Dioxide & Sulphites, Lupin, and Molluscs.
Every meal we prepare is carefully checked and labelled so parents and schools can make informed choices. Full allergen details are available on our menus, the Freshtoday App, and from our customer support team.
We also take extra precautions in our kitchens to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, and our staff are fully trained in allergen awareness. Parents can trust that Freshtoday puts safety, transparency, and peace of mind at the heart of every meal we serve.
Rooted in Quality, Made for Schools
At Freshtoday, we know that great food helps fuel great learning. Our hot lunch menu is designed to be both nutritious and delicious—offering variety, balance, and real value every school day.
Each meal is prepared in line with the Department of Social Protection’s nutrition standards for schools and delivered hot and ready to enjoy. We use quality ingredients, fresh vegetables, and child-friendly recipes to make sure every dish is something students will actually eat and enjoy.
