Spain is taking new steps to reduce the presence of ultra-processed foods in everyday life, expanding its focus well beyond schools and hospitals. The message is clear: improving public health means changing what’s available on our plates, not just giving advice after the fact.
Ultra-processed foods, often packed with additives, artificial flavours and long ingredient lists, have become a daily default for many people. Health experts increasingly link these products to rising rates of obesity, diabetes and other long-term health issues, especially among children.
By broadening restrictions and encouraging better food standards across more settings, Spain is signalling a shift towards prevention rather than treatment. The aim is to make healthier choices easier, more accessible, and more normal in daily life.
This is exactly where Dindins fits in.
At Dindins, we’ve always believed that good food should be just that: real food. Our meals are prepared from fresh ingredients, without unnecessary additives or ultra-processing. We cook properly, then freeze to preserve flavour and nutrition, not to hide shortcuts.
School Lunches
This approach is especially important when it comes to school lunches. Children deserve balanced, nourishing meals that support learning, energy and long-term health, not highly processed convenience food. That’s why our school lunch solutions focus on simple ingredients, clear nutrition, and meals parents and schools can trust.
Company Lunches
The same principle applies in the modern workplace. More and more companies are now recognising that company lunches aren’t just a perk, they’re part of employee wellbeing. Offering real, nutritious meals helps people feel better, stay focused and avoid the energy crashes that often come with processed food.
Spain’s direction confirms what we already know: the future of food is less processed, more honest, and built around quality rather than shortcuts.
At Dindins, that’s not a trend, it’s how we’ve always cooked.
