Low Carbon Meals
Low-carbon Coolfood meals are offered daily in our residential facilities. The World Resources Institute (WRI) measures the carbon footprint of Aramark’s recipes to identify items that meet Coolfood Meals criteria, based on the total emissions associated with the ingredients and the land used to produce the meal. If a dish’s carbon footprint falls below an established per-meal threshold and also meets nutrition safeguards, it is approved as a Coolfood Meal.
Coolfood meals are climate-friendly, plant-forward, and healthy, with 38% less carbon than the average meal! Look for the Coolfood icon on our menus and read more about Coolfood on the WRI website.
