James Stoddart, director of On A Roll, said: “We developed the Nourishh range with the end user very much in mind. It was a case of striking a balance between good quality, tasty fillings and meeting the nutritional guidelines such as being at least 300 calories and containing a minimum of 18g of protein.
“We are delighted to have launched the range at a number of hospitals across the country and are speaking with more NHS Trusts to distribute the product further.”
The Nourishh range offers a choice of traditional and vegetarian fillings, which meet NHS guidelines on calorific content and nutrition.
On A Roll is currently producing approximately 14,000 Nourishh sandwiches every week but hopes to at least double that volume once its brand new £3.6million factory opens in Middlesbrough in the Autumn.
On A Roll was set up in 2007, operating from two rooms in a local bakery in Middlesbrough, but now produces around seven million sandwiches every year delivering to hospitals, schools, universities, workplaces and retailers.
