ARAMARK Education will bring your District unmatched expertise and resources to successfully navigate the complexities of the K-12 education food service and regulatory environment.

Our dieticians and culinary teams will draw on student and District feedback, the latest research and newest trends and updated nutritional guidelines to:

• Develop new, healthy recipes that clearly reflect the taste preferences of our customers in your District.
• Guide product selection.
• Deliver new menu concepts and ongoing program innovation.
• Provide age-appropriate and effective communication tools.

We will expand availability of breakfast, lunch, and other meal programs to ensure students are fully fueled for a productive school day. Additionally, we will implement programs that ensure the wholesomeness and safety of the foods served.

School districts that participate in federally funded Child Nutrition programs must address multiple and often complex local, state, and federal requirements. As part of our commitment to be your best-in-class partner, the menus we design for your District will:

• Meet or exceed current recommendations from the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
• Proactively address recommendations from the Institute of Medicine, relating to specific nutrition targets and menu planning techniques that should be incorporated into school meal programs.
• Integrate the Healthier U.S. School Challenge Award criteria, if needed.

These guidelines and recommendations are the science-based framework we use in the development of student-focused menus, nutrition, and education programs.
