Held at ExCeL London, the event provided an important opportunity for White's to connect with foodservice operators and demonstrate how oats can deliver across breakfast, snacking, grab-and-go and all-day dining.
Visitors sampled overnight oats made using the company's new gluten-free oats, while Ronan McLaughlin, New Product Development Chef at White's Oats, shared practical ideas for incorporating oats into hospitality and foodservice menus.

"Lunch! provided an excellent opportunity to meet foodservice operators, understand the priorities shaping their businesses and share practical ideas for incorporating oats into a wider range of menu formats.
"The conversations we had throughout the event reinforced the growing relevance of oats within foodservice. Operators are looking for ingredients that deliver on taste, nutrition, convenience and value, and we were able to demonstrate the versatility of oats across multiple occasions.
"It was also a valuable opportunity to showcase the expertise of our team and demonstrate how White's can support operators looking to strengthen their breakfast offering, develop new concepts or explore bespoke oat-based products. We would like to thank everyone who visited the stand and look forward to building on those conversations in the months ahead."
