A recent study by the Soil Association has uncovered that many well-known UK restaurant chains are serving pre-made, microwaved meals instead of freshly prepared dishes. The research particularly highlights problems with children's menus, which are found to be excessively sugary and unhealthy.
A shock investigation has revealed that popular UK restaurant chains are serving microwave meals and dishes packed with ultra-processed junk. The study, conducted by the Soil Association , found that some chains are 'rarely' preparing food and cooking on site using fresh ingredients, instead opting to warm up pre-made pasta sauces.
The research claims that many chains are 'misleading or even ripping parents off' with unhealthy children's menus featuring excessive sugar, additives, and low-welfare meat. Franco Manca ranked lowest for failing to serve enough vegetables to kids, while KFC was found to be importing meat from halfway across the world
