Dear Colleagues, I am sure that many of you think that our canteen food is not healthy for us. You cannot find almost anything healthy on the menu. Most of the things are frozen and then fried. you can't even see a chicken breast or minute steak on the menu! In the morning it's only selling fattening foods like qassatat/pastizzi and meat pies. This has to stop. We have to change it around and include a better menu in our canteen and better options.our well being is at stake here. The chicken strips used there are not chicken breast, but precooked chicken, made in china and then reheated. It does not even taste like chicken! We would like to see the addition of fresh fruits and yogurts/cereals and other healthy material in the canteen. We are not saying to remove the hearty stuff, because eating some every once in a while is not bad for your morale either. Help us sign this petition and we can bring it forward to our company. This applies to all Marsa Employees! Thank you for your attention.

I just looked at the total and honestly I am kind of shaking because I never thought so many people would actually care about the sad state of our lunch options. It is wild to think that we might actually get real chicken instead of those strange mystery strips because of this momentum.

Ditto .. Having too many times watched food being prepared by the same guy who a second earlier would have been washing dishes and wiping his hand on some filthy cloth ... I am doing my best to avoid the canteen

Apart from health issues, the portions have shrunk by time while prices seem to increase every time. Menu needs to be changed.

Pls add hygiene to this, and I suggest we also get healthy snacks/sandwiches in the vending machines, for those who are not able to eat till 1400!

I bring food for myself as a personal choice, but when I do not manage to prepare a meal, I prefer to go out to the nearby confectionery shops and order some fresh ricotta or buy a packet of nuts or a fresh salad than to buy the expensive/unhealthy foods that the canteen offer

Oh really, put yourself in this position: You forgot (or didn't prepare lunch at home), it's lunch time and it's raining outside. What are you going to do then? Stay hungry? Go out, get wet (and smelly due to overflowing drainage pipes) and buy from elsewhere? Or would you go get something from the canteen? I bet you that quite a considerable number of people here have faced this situation at least once here

A more healthy & varied menu is needed…with reasonable portions at reasonable prices!

Dear Colleagues, We would like to thank you for expressing your views about the food provided by the current canteen operators in the Marsa Fra Diegu building. Kindly note that we are currently in the process of discussing the various options that would improve the quality of food which is made available. Thank you, Marie Louise
