Organizations that offer food services Explanation: Compare with 'logiesverstrekkende organisaties' - organizations that offer accommodations. Mainly this would be restaurants and hotels but maybe they want to keep it as broad as possible. |

| Reference: horeca vs spijsverstrekkende organisatie Reference information: One is just an umbrella term for all of the related types of businesses, wheas as the other focuses on the fact that foodstuffs are being *provided* by some distributive means. It's about the same as the nuace between "dienst" and "dienstverlener" or "hulp" en "hulpverlener" JAGUAR has translated this as follows: Professionals over de hele wereld weten dat de naam Jaguar garant staat voor superieure smaak en kwaliteit. En terecht. Groothandelaren leveren aan uiterst kritische horeca, maaltijd- en spijsverstrekkende bedrijven en (zorg)instellingen. Professionals around the world know that the name of Jaguar stands for superior flavour and quality. And rightly so! Wholesalers supply extremely critical and discerning clients such as hoteliers, restauranteurs, caterers and companies providing catering services and foodstuffs for corporate customers and (care) institutions. As for the paragraph, I'm not a fan of this translation... at all. It has a whole wad of problems that make me want to rip my eyebrows out as a native English speaker, so I won't get into specifics. At the very least, however, it gives you a reference as to how "spijsverstrekkend" has been translated in the past by one such organization.
