Naturally bio!
- Simply the best: Bio.
Not only is the cafeteria in Witzenhausen (which was awarded with the "BioStar" in 2003) working hard to get and use groceries from organically run farms, so are the cafeterias in Kassel.
Inexpensive and quality organic products like breakfast eggs, coffee, tea, juices, Bionade (organic lemonade) can be found in the cafeterias as well as Restaurant "Moritz".
In 2003 the Studentenwerk was awarded, after successful control, a Bio-Certificate and has since the been allowed to put the seal of organic control on all of its organic food (codenumber: DE-ÖKO-034)
Green means organic
- Green bowls mean: organic.
Green bowls for side dishes in the dining halls allows for more transparency and proves without a doubt, that our boiled potatoes are 100% organic. Next to that there are futher meals from organic products and more conventional ingredients, such as: raw vegetables-carrot salad, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes and potatoe soup. In Witzenhausen, a green bowl always means 100% organic.
Simply healthy

In the interest of your health, we buy ingredients that are virtually free of any additives that are required to be labeled. For example, there is no sodium glutamate in any of our dishes.
No genetically modified foods

We do not use any products that are genetically modified in any of our dining halls. To guarantee this, we require our suppliers to bring non-genetically modified foods; for this they are obliged.
Transfair as much as possible

Fair to humans, fair to Nature: We serve fair-trade-coffee from egological production. Wherever economically possible teas and sweets are from fair businesses and ecological production, too.
No to Laying Cage Systems
At our canteens and cafeterias, we completely do without eggs from battery-caged hens. Because of this, Studentenwerk Kassel was awarded the animal protection award "Das Goldene Ei" in 2011.
This award comes from "Albert Schweitzer Stiftung für unsere Mitwelt" and the international animal rights organisation "Compassion in World Farming".
Climate Protection with a knife and fork
Meatless and vegan food meet the trend and are part of our offerings in canteens and cafeterias.
Of course environmentally friendly
- We protect environment. (From: www.blauer-engel.de)
It's self-evident that all of our duties are performed in a consistently environmentally conscious way. Wherever possible we avoid disposable packages and support the use of deposit packages and thermo cups. Energetic cleaning of student housing and the use of rain water collectors are more examples of our environment protection efforts.
