Mat pa forksolan

Hi there, I apologise for the mail being in English, but my Swedish is not good enough as yet! Our kids have been placed in a nursery in quite far away from our home, until they start at a closer one in August.

Although the nursery seems lovely, I am really concerned about the food toddlers & preschoolers are given here.

Every lunch they have been given so far, while I am doing the 'in-skoling' has been made with processed meat. No fresh meat seems to be used. (in other words they only seem to get chicken nuggets - for a 1.5 year old! - valukorv, reconstituted chicken, etc.

It really concerns me that children of such a young age are being given this type of junk meat on a daily basis. This nursery has it's own kitchen.

Do all nurseries serve only processed meat? If so what are my options? Can we pack lunch for our kids?

with thanks

Lynn

Its not like that at our "dagis" . I guess u have to talk to the people responsible or hope that the next dagis you get are doing it different. I dont think it will be possible to bring your own food.

Many of them do serve processed food, yes. I don't think they will accept that you bring your own food.

Processed food doesn't mean bad food. Do you think minced meat is bad too or is it just bad if it is stuffed into a sausauge?

Hi Lena

Processed meat (where I come from) means meat that the meat is preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding chemicals - this type of meat GREATLY increases the risk of stomach cancer. Ham, bologna, hot dogs all fall into this category.

Also, reconstituted meat - such as all the leftover chicken/meat bits that are then put in a mixer & 'pressed' into a meat shape also have chemicals etc added/used in the process.

Neither of these types of meat are suitable for toddlers & preschool children on a regular basis.

I have worked in many preschools in Sweden, England and Australia and I have to say that Sweden have a good standard when it comes to preeschool food in general.

Off course processed food is used but it can also be very healthy and fresh.my latest preschool had meat delivered from a butcher.
We have a different sausage culture and I do agree you see way to much falukorv and varmkorv wich to me is junk And should only be served in emergencies or seldom.I prefer English sausages!

Here we have alot of sausages and other things with very little chemicals in them. Falukorv is a sausauge with fairly much meat and nuggets is usually done with whole parts of chicken.

Before EU Sweden had harder restrictions for food than most other countries in europe and that reflects in the common foods. They are usually low on nitrates and other chemicals.

Why is falukorv bad? Beacuse of that it contains potatoe flour?

Thanks Lena, in the London dagis our son was at before we moved here they served real pieces of meat (no compressed/reconstituted meat), no junk food like hotdogs,etc either - as I HATE what the non-organic slaugherhouses do to their meat/animals I try to buy only organic food meat for meals at home - so I guess I'm a little disappointed is all.

There are strict regulation on what to serv att preschool and school. Here in Gothenburg for exampel as much as possible of the food should be organic. They usually have one day fish, one day soup, one day chicken and two days with some kind of meat.
