A Northern Ireland food company is inviting members of the public to taste and provide feedback on new meals before they are released to customers. Slim’s Healthy Kitchen announced the creation of a tasting crew to sample dishes developed over the past year and help refine the products.

The company, founded by Gary McIldowney, is looking for people who enjoy food and are willing to share honest opinions. No professional experience or qualifications are required. Those selected will get an early look at meal creations and take part in tasting sessions.

McIldowney said the initiative aims to involve the people who eat the food, rather than keeping the tasting process internal. He noted that the company has been working on new dishes for 12 months and wanted to get additional input.

Alongside the recruitment drive, Slim’s Healthy Kitchen said it maintains an ongoing commitment to supporting food banks and charitable organisations across Northern Ireland. McIldowney stated that giving back to local communities is a regular part of the company’s work.

Applications are open to food enthusiasts across Northern Ireland. Interested individuals can contact the company through its Instagram account or by emailing kate@slimskitchen.com.
