Nutrition trends increasingly shape catering as more people eat more consciously – from plant-based diets and clean eating to superfoods.

Dietary trends play an increasingly important role in catering, as more and more people are paying closer attention to the way they eat. Factors such as environmental awareness, health and social responsibility influence which foods are preferred. By adapting to dietary trends, egora offers its customers a modern and attractive range.
With the rise in food allergies and intolerances, targeted nutrition is becoming ever more important. egora uses virtual catering management to make allergens easily identifiable and to adjust menus quickly. In this way, nut allergies, gluten and wheat intolerances or other dietary restrictions can be competently accommodated. Since July 2017, for example, all sauces have been made gluten-free using their own binding agents.
Megatrends such as digitalisation, environmental protection, health management, sustainability and urbanisation shape eating and consumption behaviour. Digitalisation enables more efficient processes and detailed insights into nutritional information and allergens. Sustainability and environmental protection lead to the use of regional and seasonal organic food, while urbanisation increases demand for practical, healthy catering options.
Current trends value dishes that are sugar-free, low in salt and rich in vitamins and minerals. egora increasingly focuses on plant-based nutrition as well as lactose-free and gluten-free options. The rising demand for vegan and vegetarian dishes reflects the shift towards a health-oriented way of eating.
Whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, paleo, lactose-free or kosher - the diversity of dietary forms is steadily increasing. A proven method is to survey participants in advance, for example during event registration. Special dietary requests can be accommodated particularly well with buffet concepts, as a greater selection of dishes can be offered here. egora works closely with hosts to find flexible and creative solutions.
