Dishes impress at M&S

Final year Foundation Degree in Food Industry with Management students were tasked with creating premium deli products which would tempt the typical M&S customer.

The students had to follow a complex brief following strict retail industry standards and then deliver a product presentation before a ‘dragon’s den’ of food experts. The judging panel was led by M&S product developer Barbara Ross, who is responsible for the retailer’s popular ‘Taste Italian’ range and is involved with launching new M&S deli counters.
