Pitango reveals the perils of office eating

Australian office workers will spend around 10.5 years of their life in the office, and consume around 2700 meals at their desk, so it is hardly surprising that the most common office-related complaint is our co-workers’ bad eating habits.

Food company Pitango surveyed office workers and found that 35% of respondents voted smelly food as the most annoying habit, followed by mess left behind (32%) or loud eating and slurping (34%).

Pitango Marketing Manager Sharon Addington says the company’s Meal Pots for One range was created with these common complaints in mind. The meals are packaged in a ready-to-heat, ready-to-eat container that provides a portion-controlled meal containing less than 1255 kJ, with a minimum of 11 g protein.

Pitango says the meals use natural ingredients that you would find in your kitchen at home, prepared using home-style cooking techniques.
