"Good to know": Transparency all along the line at the Elisabethinen hospital in Klagenfurt

Mag. Michael Steiner, MAS, CEO of the Elisabethinen hospital emphasizes the importance of the initiative at the hospital: “Especially when it’s about meat and eggs I can’t think of any reason, why we should not rely on products from our close range.” The origin of the ingredients is included into the meal plans. Meat, vegetables, bread and pastry as well as noodles come from the surrounding region.

ÖR Ing. Johann Mößler, president of the Chamber of Agriculture Carinthia, adds: “Because of this our initiative has the goal to label the origin of products used in the community catering and give the consumers a better overview. The Elisabethinen hospital shows, how easy and non-bureaucratic this can be.”

Working together for public health and the environment is important for Mag. Gerlinde Tröstl, CEO of Markas Austria, too. “Today it is more important than ever to know, under which circumstances our food is produced and where the ingredients come from. We are happy to make another step towards sustainability and transparency – and assume responsibility for humanity and our planet.”
