I have recently met with some students who are interested in making sure that students are being provided with healthy, sustainable, quality foods. I am very interested in providing students with the food, knowledge, and tools they need to make healthy choices in their lives now that I hope will help them to continue to make healthy choices for the rest of their lives. After meeting with them, I began to wonder if students were aware of some of the things Chartwells already does in order to provide healthy, sustainable, quality foods. So here is a list of some of the current things Chartwells is doing...
- Local Produce - Chartwells uses local produce options over non-local produce whenever possible given geographic and seasonal restrictions
- Sustainable Seafood - All seafood purchases are in accordance with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. Any locally purchased seafood should also meet these guidelines.
- Free Range Chicken and Pork - Chartwells' broadline purchases of chicken and pork are from free range farms. This means the chicken and pigs are born and raised with free access to the outdoors.
-
Cage Free Eggs - All of Chartwells' broadline egg purchases, both shell and liquid, are from cage free hens. This means the hens have the ability to walk around and spread their wings.
- rBGH Free Milk & Yogurt - All of Chartwells' broadline supplied milk and yogurt is provided by dairies committed to raising dairy cows without additional growth hormones to boost milk production.
