Chefs and other professionals in the food industry know that their livelihood depends upon more than creating meals that taste good and are well presented. Nutrition also plays a big role in patron decisions to dine at one restaurant vs. another. According to Maritz Research Hospitality Group, the majority of diners with children under 12 years of age are influenced by restaurants with healthy menu options. Further, studies show that diners are more likely to frequent and recommend restaurants with healthy dining options.
Foundations Family Nutrition helps resorts, cruise lines, restaurants, chefs, food editors and others create healthy dining options by creating nutrition fact labels, qualifying health claims, analyzing recipes and providing consulting services. Our Registered Dietitians (RDs) / Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) use the top rated ESHA Food Processor computer program, which
incorporates the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) database, to assist
with analysis and recommendations. If nutrition information is not available, RDs and APDs contact the manufacturer directly, or match the ingredient as closely as possible to a similar product.
