Lasagna after the game. A well-filled wrap for lunch. Meatballs at the buffet. These are the dishes that make people happy, and those are exactly the dishes we want to improve. Since September 1, we’ve been working SNX and Van Rooijen Food Solutions That’s why we’re based out of a single building on Coloradodreef in Utrecht. Van Rooijen specializes in corporate catering and meal production, while SNX makes smart snacks and hybrid ground meat. Together, we share a single goal: to make meals better and healthier, while maintaining the cozy vibe that people love so much.
How We Do It
1. The best of both worlds in ground meat. SNX ground meat is made from Dutch beef, supplemented with legumes and vegetables. It tastes, smells, and looks just like regular ground meat: the same texture, the same flavor, the same gravy. Only the nutritional profile is different. The ground meat has a Nutri-Score of A, contains about twice as much protein and three to four times more fiber than comparable products, and half as much beef.
2. Culinary Expertise. Van Rooijen incorporates that ground meat into dishes that guests already know and love. Van Rooijen’s chefs handle the flavor, portion size, and presentation; SNX provides the foundation. Because development and production happen side by side, we test new recipes right away in a real-world setting, and a dish can be on the menu within a few weeks.
What that yields
- Lower calorie intake per meal, without smaller portions.
- More fiber and protein, so you'll feel full longer and it's better for an active day.
- And above all: enjoy the moment more. Guests don't have to give anything up. They eat whatever they like, and it's actually better.
Company Cafeteria and Lunch
Lunch is the meal most employees choose. Whether SNX ground meat is served in a wrap, on a sandwich, or in a salad bowl, lunch remains familiar and delicious, while also aligning with every employer’s health policy.
Dinner and Buffets
For dinner and buffets, SNX supplies pre-cooked meatballs and ground meat. The Van Rooijen kitchen incorporates them into stews, pasta dishes, and hot buffet items. Pre-cooked means fewer steps, consistent quality, and less waste. For guests, this means a complete, hot meal with a better nutritional profile.
Sports: The Improved "Third Half"
After the game, you'll want something hearty. In sports cafeterias, we serve the sports lasagna Here it is: lasagna made with SNX ground meat—high in protein, higher in fiber, and lower in calories than a traditional lasagna. The SNX bitterballen and croquettes will stay in the fryer for the post-game drinks. That way, the “third half” is just as good for your body as the first two.
High quality, completely hassle-free
For a venue, this partnership means a single point of contact and a single chain of operations: recipe development, production, preparation, and delivery are all handled under one roof. Van Rooijen and SNX take care of the menu, preparation, and logistics. The venue’s only job is to keep the guests happy.
