Our food industry experience

Below are examples of projects Nutrition Australia Vic Division has delivered for the food service industry.

Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts kids’ menu

Nutrition Australia Vic Division worked with IHG to launch a new Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts kids’ menu across the Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) region. The menu was developed in collaboration between Nutrition Australia Vic Division’s dietitians, nutritionists and in-house chefs and Holiday Inn’s chefs.
The criteria ensured all meals contain a nutritious balance of foods from the core food groups, are low in saturated fats, added sugar and salt; promote food variety, and reflect current standards and dietary guidelines.
A core menu was developed that highlighted regionally relevant dishes to cater to different tastes and food preferences across AMEA.
Approximately 50 main meals, desserts and drinks were developed to ensure that hotels from across the region can cater to local and international tastes.
The menu has been rolled out in 53 hotels in Australia, Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Spotless Group

Nudge Nutrition Guidelines
Nutrition Australia Vic Division developed the “Nudge Nutrition Guidelines” (recipe guidelines) for the Spotless Group as part of a healthy food choices initiative available in all Spotless food service settings across the education, resources and business innovation sectors.
The guidelines were developed for all house made food items and applied across all Spotless sites. The program included training the Spotless team on how to use and implement the guidelines, how to assess recipes for their nutritional value and how to develop new healthy recipes.
Food service training 
We developed and delivered training workshops to Spotless food service staff including chefs, cooking staff and food service workers working in hospitals.
Our training program was designed to ensure the meals provided in hospitals were nutritious, appropriate and met specific policy and guideline requirements.
The training program was designed to assist food service staff to understand common nutrition issues in hospitals, cater for food allergies and intolerances, understand and prepare texture modified meals and cater for special diets.
