Tasty Pork Week

QMS is proud to announce the launch of Tasty Little Pork Week, starting the week commencing 28 October 2024. This week-long celebration highlights the versatility and nutritional benefits of Specially Selected Pork to
school pupils in Scotland and is the first in a series of Tasty Little Weeks spotlighting one type of red meat protein at a time.

QMS encourages teachers to enhance the learning of their young people by using the digital Tasty Little Pork Week lesson resources with their pupils, or by bringing the learning to life by inviting a QMS Scotch Ambassador into class to deliver a learning session, possibly including a cookery demonstration.

For more information on how to involve an Ambassador for cookery demonstrations for your class or to access resources like Farming Foodsteps, please visit farmingfoodsteps.co.uk or contact Tracy Martin at [email protected]
