The DWP\u2019s FM supplier has investigated the sourcing of food and drink in its canteens and restaurants. They confirm that all food and drink has to meet the Government Buying Standards, as well as their catering sub-contractor\u2019s (Compass) own non-negotiable standards that have to be met in relation to animal welfare and quality assurance.<\/p>
<\/p>
In order to achieve this, Compass have a set of strict food sourcing standards that their suppliers have to adhere to. These are split up between:<\/p>
\u2022 Dairy and eggs<\/p>
\u2022 Fruit and Veg<\/p>
\u2022 Animal Products<\/p>
\u2022 Fish and Seafood<\/p>
\u2022 Meat sourcing<\/p>
\u2022 Grocery and Savoury<\/p>
<\/p>
For instance, for dairy liquid milk they state it must be from British Origin and red tractor assurance. All our eggs are cage free (liquid and shell). All shell eggs are from the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
Compass have set the net zero target of 2030, so have banned air freight in their business.<\/p>
