Catering for children covers healthy, age-appropriate meals for children and young people at day care, school and in their free time.

Good catering for children relies on fresh, seasonal ingredients and balanced meals tailored to the needs of children and young people. The quality standards of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) for day-care centres and schools provide guidance. Varied menus that only repeat after several weeks, with fruit and vegetables every day, support healthy development.
Fresh, seasonal food is the focus. Facilities benefit from full catering that includes two breakfasts, a lunch and an afternoon snack. Transparency is ensured through information on the main allergens such as eggs, fish, gluten and milk. Feedback opportunities make it possible to take account of the children's tastes and intolerances, which increases acceptance. Close dialogue with nursery managers and an online ordering portal for nursery and school catering make cooperation easier.
Catering for children is guided by ecological, social and economic parameters in order to create a transparent, regional food chain. The EU certification of the industrial kitchens guarantees the highest hygiene standards, complemented by regular training on hygiene and pandemic-related requirements.
Through egora, facilities gain access to over 100 carefully curated top caterers in Berlin, with menu suggestions within three hours and meal options for every taste, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free alternatives.
