"In den Geräten der Serie "Gastro-Snack" und "Euro-Snack können Lebensmittelerzeugnisse, wie z.B. Snacks, belegte Brötchen, Kuchen, Salate, Desserts, Getränkeflaschen u.ä. auf dem Wannenboden oder auf höhenverstellbaren Einlegeböden, welche als Zubehör erhältlich sind, gekühlt werden.
"In den Geräten der Serie "Gastro-Snack" können alternativ ***Gastro-Norm-Behältern*** mit Lebensmittel eingehängt werden."
Talking about certain types of food cooling devices. I'm a bit puzzled by "Gastro-Norm-Behälter". Does the "Gastro" bit refer to the Gastro-Snack line, or is it short for something like "gastronomisch"? TIA for your help.

Comment: "From additional research that I have done, it appears that "gastronorm" is in fact a recognised term in English. So thanks Edith, and also the peer graders who made the answer even more convincing. Appreciate everyone's help."

I've a sneaking feeling that "Gastronorm" is in fact a trade name, looking at a selection of the sites where it's used. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that the word is tending to be used as a generic description, where it probably originated as a corruption of "gastronomy norm" - or indeed "food standard", i.e. specification. Just another example of "Germ-lish", perhaps?

It certainly hasn\'t yet achieved dictionary status - not even Webster online acknowledges it as a word, so it must be a very recent invention.
