Canned Food UK is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the benefits of using canned food in cooking to make delicious, nutritious, affordable meals.

Canned Food UK is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the benefits of canned food. Our members include companies who produce material for cans and make metal cans, to the distribution and manufacture of canned food products. Canned foods are nutritious and healthy and alongside fresh, frozen and chilled, can provide you with a balanced, healthy diet. Canned fruit and vegetables can also provide you with your 5-A-DAY. Canned food is great value, convenient and versatile to use straight off the shelf as an ingredient for a meal or a quick snack. The long shelf life of cans makes it a store-cupboard saviour in households in the UK and around the world. Metal cans are good for the environment – they can be recycled again and again to make new cans or other metal goods like fridges and cars. We work closely with various celebrity chefs and nutritionists, and in partnership with a variety of organisations. Visit the Canned Food UK website to find plenty of delicious recipes, health advice, information about canned food and much more. www.cannedfood.co.uk
