Do you know what's in your pre-made meal?

SYDNEY - May 28, 2018 - PRLog -- Sydney, NSW – We are busier these days than ever before. Long hours at the office, transporting kids from one activity to the next, tackling a never-ending series of household chores – our time comes at a premium these days.

We want to cook healthy meals for our families, but some days, we simply don't have the time. Getting take-away is the answer for most, but some have opted to make use of pre-made meal services, as these businesses offer a far healthier option than pizza or fried chicken.

Unfortunately, the rapid growth of this industry has allowed unprofessional players to set up shop. These meal providers may neglect to provide ingredient labels on their pre-made dishes, opting instead to post them online.

This can be problematic for those with food allergies – gluten soy, peanuts, and lactose can make their lives miserable – or end them.

This is almost what happened to Annette Densham, founder of PR firm Publicity Genie. She lives with an autoimmune disorder, so there are many foods she cannot eat. Recently, she drank a pre-prepared smoothie which lacked a label.

Moments after, she had a severe reaction. The smoothie contained banana, an allergen which caused her throat to seize and her heart rate to plummet.

Thankfully, Annette survived her encounter, missing only two days of work – but how long will it be before an improperly-labeled meal claims an innocent life?

This possibility disturbs Megna and Aarjit, the co-founders of Start Your Food Business, a website which offers courses and coaching for food and beverage operators in Australia. Megna and Aarjit launched Start Your Food Business in an attempt to fill a knowledge gap which has been present for many years in the food and beverage industry.

As former food business owners, Megna says "… we are conscious of how difficult it can be to get a food and beverage operation off the ground. We are also aware how confusing existing regulations can be!" Aarjit, who is also a food technologist says "… we  know all about the communication breakdowns which often occur between local councils and food entrepreneurs, and we help our clients ensure that they protect both themselves and their customers with the right labelling on their products"

Are you putting your customers' lives and health at risk with improper or incomplete labelling?
