About Us – Cuisine Santé Kids

Our missionand values

Need help getting your kids to eat healthy at school? Well, you’re in luck because providing healthy, tasty, nutritious meals and snacks that kids love while making parents’ lives a bit easier, just happens to be our core mission. So let us take the stress out of planning and packing school lunches every day!

Our hot lunch and snack programs are designed with your kids’ nutrition and health in mind. Our very own chef Guy Dongué and his professionally-trained team create dietitian-approved recipes that kids will actually eat, and provide them with important nutrients they need.

Our menus meet school’s nutrition standards and are prepared using top quality, fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our philosophy is simple and straightforward: we want kids to eat more of the good stuff and less of the bad stuff so that we can foster lifelong healthy eating habits. That’s why we are committed to reducing sugar, fat and sodium while adding more whole wheat, fruits and vegetables to their menus. As much as possible, we use sustainable, locally-grown, organic ingredients to support local farmers and food producers.

Our school lunch programs are inclusive and offer plenty of healthy lunch options for your little ones. As a catering business operating in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, we offer culturally-diverse meals for kids living in the Greater Toronto Area that embrace Canada’s cultural diversity. We also enjoy celebrating holidays and special occasions, and we accommodate individual allergies, diet restrictions and food preferences.

Communiqué

Chers parents, amis, jeunes, membre de notre communauté éducative en Ontario,

Kids Cuisine Santé, comme beaucoup d’entreprise de la restauration en général, va subir des répercussions négatives, notamment l’augmentation des couts de production dont les consommables et autres frais de livraison, à la suite de l’imposition de tarifs douaniers sur les exportations Canadiennes vers les États-Unis.

Kids Cuisine Santé, reste résolu à poursuivre sa politique de saine alimentation en milieu scolaire afin de nous préserver tous, et surtout nos enfants des dangers de la restauration rapide et ultra-transformée.

Kids Cuisine Santé souhaite proposer un certain nombre de mesures conservatoires visant à garder le cap de sante alimentaire et à tenir bon face à la montée des couts :

Réduire les pertes et gaspillage alimentaire en cuisine;
Réduire la distance entre les producteurs agricoles et les restaurateurs et donc promouvoir encore plus l’achat local et national
Faciliter les achats de gros par des groupes de restaurateurs
Que les parents et les conseils de parents aident à l’obtention de subventions visant a couvrir les couts de productions dont les consommables et la main d’œuvre auprès de nos services
Encourager le bénévolat en cuisine et cafétéria pour réduire les couts de main d’œuvre.
Si des parents ont des avantages dans des entreprises impactant le secteur de la restauration, svp le mettre à la disposition d’une entreprise de restauration de leur choix
Que le gouvernement puisse alléger le fardeau fiscal des entreprises de restauration et d’agroalimentaire.

Merci à tous et toutes pour votre confiance et ensemble nous traverserons cette période d’incertitude tout en préservant notre plus grand bien, nos enfants!

Merci,

Chef Guy

Press release

Dear parents, friends,

young people and members of our educational community in Ontario, Kids Cuisine Santé, like many food service companies in general, will be negatively impacted by the imposition of tariffs on Canadian exports to the United States, including increased production costs such as consumables and delivery charges. Kids Cuisine Santé is determined to pursue its policy of healthy eating in schools, in order to protect us all, and especially our children, from the dangers of fast food and ultraprocessed foods. Kids Cuisine Santé would like to propose a number of conservative measures aimed at staying the course of healthy eating and holding firm in the face of rising costs:

Reduce food loss and waste in the kitchen. • Reduce the distance between agricultural producers and restaurateurs, and thus further promote local and national purchasing.
Facilitate bulk purchasing by groups of restaurateurs.
Get parents and parent councils to help obtain subsidies to cover production costs, including consumables and labor, from our services.
Encourage volunteer work in the kitchen and cafeteria to reduce labor costs.
If parents have benefits in companies impacting the catering sector, please make them available to a catering company of their choice.
May the government lighten the tax burden on food service and agri-food companies. Thank you all for your confidence, and together we’ll get through these uncertain times while preserving our greatest asset – our children!

Thank you all,

Chef Guy
