The Terrassa municipal Government has initiated an informative file against the school canteen concessionaire, Mediterranea de Catering SLU, following detected deficiencies in the service.

Two months ago, complaints were made public regarding the conditions of the canteen service in the city's public schools. Reports indicated insufficient portions, leading to children experiencing hunger, a situation that caused concern among families.
Initially, the City Council defended its control and monitoring of the service, considering the complaints as isolated incidents. However, given the persistence of suspected irregularities, inspections have been carried out, confirming several shortcomings.
Among the identified deficiencies are portions below recommended grammages, insufficient protein in some menus, issues with ingredient quality, and deficiencies in the maintenance of equipment and utensils used for the service.

"Better late than never."
