Eggs

100% of shell eggs purchased by Elior UK since January 2025 are cage-free, being British Lion barn or free-range.

Fish

We uphold the Elior Group objective to sourcing 100% sustainably sourced fish. In the UK we support the position stated by the Marine Conservation Society which places importance on maintaining a secure future for our living seas and to save our threatened marine wildlife before it becomes extinct. Elior UK requires that all our suppliers comply with the Marine Conservation Society Fish to Eat Guide, ensuring that species that are rated 4 (at risk) or 5 (endangered) are removed from our supply chain. Furthermore, specifically for farmed fish, it is a requirement that all seafood suppliers supply Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) or Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) accredited fish. Our current reports show that we are sourcing 100% sustainably sourced fresh fish (2016/17) and this will continue to be monitored within our supply chain and reported on each year.

Meat

We take requirements in animal welfare further by adopting Red Tractor standards for fresh meat from UK suppliers wherever possible. Where we use Red Tractor meat, an independent audit is carried out annually to ensure our practices meet the high standards required to allow us to continue to use the Red Tractor marque at that site. 

We at Elior are committed to the use of Red Tractor assured fresh meat where possible. By serving Red Tractor produce where possible on our menus, we can reassure our customers of the origin and quality of the ingredients we use. Meat imported from Europe is covered by European law.

We also track our meat suppliers and their suppliers on their FSA audit scores.

Our meat and poultry catalogue identifies (using unique Elior codes) the origin of all cuts of meat and poultry and gives their accreditation. The Elior product catalogue provides the site operations with the unique attributes of a product including origin and technical accreditation.
