Our chefs, dietitians and menu developers have worked to reduce calories, saturated fat and sodium 15% on average across menus served in our workplaces, hospital cafes and university dining halls. Our plant-forward menu approach has increased fruits, vegetables and whole grains 9% while reducing red meat 5%.
