Attendees to this month’s lunch! trade show, on 26-27 September, at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, will be treated to a wealth of delicious organic food and drink products from some of the food-to-go industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers.
Now in its sixth year and featuring 290 exhibiting companies, lunch! is firmly established as an essential event for buying teams from across Europe’s retailing, hospitality, snacking and catering sectors. The following is just a taste of what’s new at lunch! 2013

Our food choices have direct impacts on our health and the health of the environment. Consumer awareness of this is undeniably growing and the food service landscape is changing rapidly as a result. The Soil Association (stand U201) firmly believes that there is no turning back for enlightened consumers on the journey to better food. Widely recognised for its pioneering work, influencing both societal attitudes to food and food policy, the Soil Association and its partners have worked tirelessly to help businesses adapt to the demands and values of the new consumer. The Soil Association will be joined at lunch! by long term partners, Organix and Yeo valley, both of whom have organic offers to help food service face the future.
