The nutritional values of food are subject to natural fluctuations and also depend on the amount of food served. The calculated energy values would therefore only be rough estimates. By stating an exact value, we would no longer be able to respond individually to the wishes of our guests. For example, it would then no longer be possible to replace or omit components. We therefore offer the menus of the mensaVital line in our dining halls, which corresponds to nutritional principles.
The topic "Avoidance of flavour enhancers and other additives" plays a decisive role in the selection of meals at the Studierendenwerk Greifswald. Our cooks do not use any additives, such as flavour enhancers, in the preparation of the meals. We serve up to 5,000 guests in our refectories every day. Therefore, the use of certain ready-made products is not always avoidable. When selecting these products, however, we make sure that they contain as few additives as possible.
The additives are either listed for the entire menu (e.g. for the mensaVital menu line) or separately for each food component.
We do everything to make the labelling of allergens as safe as possible. Our merchandise management programme includes all foods with the corresponding labelling. Every new article added to our product range is immediately entered into this merchandise management program with the labelling. In addition, the data is continuously updated in case of a change of supplier.
The kitchen managers plan the menus with the merchandise management program, so that the labelling is carried out automatically by the program. This information is then the basis for the Internet menu, the monitors in the cafeteria foyers and the signs at the counter.
