We are honored to have been chosen to undertake the management of the Middle/High School's and Elementary School's Food Services at the ACS Athens premises, acknowledging the importance of the service and setting the bar even higher for ourselves. During childhood and adolescence there is a rapid growth of the child with increasing height and weight. Combining proper nutrition with adequate physical activity is particularly crucial to ensure the satisfactory development of the child. It will help the child:

  • To be trained to enjoy foods rich in nutrients
  • To adopt behaviors that should eventually lead to a healthy adulthood

Gefsinus' approach for providing healthy and tasty meals for the students will focus on:

  • Strict selection of Suppliers and Raw Materials
  • Ongoing collaboration with Nutritionist
  • Design menu based nutritional principles for this age group
  • Cover all food groups
  • Use mainly seasonal fruits and vegetables
  • Powered recipes with nutritious materials e.g. burgers with oats instead of white bread, whole wheat pasta, etc.

We renovated both the Elementary School and Middle/High School Food Services areas in order to become more functional and practical, while also providing a pleasant environment for the students.

Gefsinus, through its brands will be offering the students meals, foods and beverages, which will meet federal requirements based on the Dietary Guidelines set by the Hellenic Food Authority (EFET).
