One Out of Every Four College Students Wants Vegan Meals According to ARAMARK Nationwide Survey; Campuses Across Country Offer 'Vegan' This Fall
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2004--According to ARAMARK's recent nationwide survey completed by over 100,000 college students, nearly a quarter said finding vegan meals on campus was important to them. Vegan dishes contain no meat, fish, poultry or other products derived from animals such as dairy, eggs or honey.
As a result, ARAMARK (NYSE:RMK) has added dozens of vegan menu items as part of the company's innovative and flexible Just4U(TM) menu program, available on nearly two dozen ARAMARK-managed college campuses this fall.
New menu items include Sweet Thai Tofu Stir-Fry, Broccoli Teriyaki, Chili Garlic Stir-Fry, Vegan Cheese Quesadillas, Vegan "Chicken" Burritos, Eggless "Egg" Salad, "Turkey" Subs, and Vegan "Cheese" Burgers. Each dish contains flavorful meat or cheese alternatives, made from soy or other vegan products.
"Our DiningStyles(TM) research demonstrated that demand for vegan is especially strong among college students, as fully 24% of students indicated that vegan dishes were important to them versus only 18% for low-carb," said Ginger Strano, RD, Director of Nutritional Program Development for ARAMARK. "With Just4U(TM) we're able to customize our menu mix to reflect how students eat on each campus and offer foods that fit into their own dining style."
Just4U(TM) - Food That Fits Your Life -- was introduced in June 2004 to select campus, business and healthcare dining locations managed by ARAMARK. Based on the company's comprehensive DiningStyles(TM) research, Just4U(TM) makes it easy for diners at any location to find the menu items they want, with easy-to-understand nutrition information and bold menu identifiers.
Low Fat, Heart Healthy, Carb Counter, Cal Smart and Vegetarian are other Just4U(TM) menu classifications. Menu items are tested for nutritional value and accuracy during development by ARAMARK chefs and registered dietitians, and food services personnel undergo in-depth training to become Just4U(TM) certified.
Vegan Just4U(TM) training, for instance, focuses on close inspection of ingredient labels, proper separation of ingredients during storage, preparation and service to protect against contact with animal-based products, and designation of utensils as "for vegan only" to give customers confidence in the meals being served.
