Overview & Menus

The APEEE Canteen team serves 2,500 meals a day spread over 6 services. Everything is prepared on-site and served following the “all you can eat” principle.

All our menus are created in close collaboration with a dietician who verifies the respect of the nutritional pyramid as well as a balanced composition of calories. The fresh & homemade pasta is 100% organic. More information is available in our brochure.

The information above concerns the Canteen service in WOLUWE.

For the registration of your child at the EVERE canteen, you will receive an email from the Scolarest-Compass team around the end of August containing the information related to your child’s registration, therefore you do not need to take any further steps until August.

The Scolarest-Compass catering team prepares the meals in our own kitchen and serves tasty and healthy meals, while ensuring that all health and safety measures are also respected.

Please note that no EVERE canteen registrations will be done via the APEEE Secretariat or APEEE Canteen. For more information about the canteen service in EVERE, please contact: euro.school.evere@compass-group.be

For reasons of infrastructure and personnel, a unique menu is offered. Indeed, it is not possible to set menus for diets or allergies.

However, according to the law in force, we have the possibility to communicate orally to anyone wishing if allergens are found in the dishes served. Internal procedure in allergens is displayed in the refectory and the cafeteria.

Information about allergens in the food we serve.

The APEEE takes food allergies very seriously. We are aware that a growing number of people suffer from such allergies and are committed to providing our canteen and cafeteria users with the information they need to have and whether they can eat a particular dish or not.

We provide this information in four ways:

  • The canteen menu available on the APEEE website displays the allergens present in every dish for the next 2-week period, so that parents can periodically review the upcoming meals with their children to instruct them what to avoid eating.
  • Each day in the canteen and cafeteria a menu is displayed for that day with icons indicating which allergens are present in which dishes. Please ask your children to check these displays each day and to familiarise themselves with the allergen icons (these are listed below). This information will also be displayed on TV monitors.
  • Pupils may also ask serving staff for oral information about the allergens present in the dishes served that day. This information will be provided by the chef. Note that information will be given in French only. 
  • For prepackaged items sold in the canteen or the cafeteria, the allergens will be in bold in the ingredients list printed on the packaging itself. Please ask your child to check the packaging before opening and eating the contents.

 

Alternative dishes

Unfortunately, due to the small size of the food preparation area in the canteen, we do not have space to provide alternative dishes on the occasions when there are allergens present in our menu.

Cross-contamination risk

Whilst we do everything we can to avoid cross-contamination of allergens by keeping ingredients separate and work surfaces constantly clean, such a risk cannot be eliminated completely. We therefore need to inform you of this slight risk.

Our kitchens operate in full conformity with Belgian legislation and are regularly inspected by external parties. Our allergens policy is in conformity with Belgian legislation contained in the Royal Decree of the 17th of July 2014.

Unavoidable menu changes

Whilst we are committed to delivering exactly the menu that is published 2 weeks in advance on the APEEE website, there may be circumstances that make this impossible, for example if a delivery does not arrive. If this happens, we will take the following actions to inform pupils and teachers:

  • A red sign will be displayed at the entrance to the cafeteria as follows. Please familiarize your child with this image and instruct them to double check the daily menu information when they see it displayed.

 

  • An alert of the change of menu will be published on the APEEE website and on Facebook.
  • An alert of the change of menu will be published on the posters and/or the TV screens in the canteen of the students and in the canteen of the teachers.

 

Allergy action plan 

The school has an allergy action plan document which all parents of children with allergies are asked to complete. Please ensure you have done this and have sent it to the school infirmary. This is extremely important. If you have any questions please contact the school nurses by sending a message to: wol-infirmerie@eursc.eu.
