Families, and care teams can scan a simple QR code to see every meal’s full ingredient list, nutrition details, and allergen alerts - great for families checking dietary needs from afar, and for staff ensuring everyone gets the right meal.

EHO’S can also scan to check allergens or CQC visitors to monitor what meals are available in the homes, as part of their inspections.
