Quality Ingredients

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Are you looking to improve the quality of your food products? With the myriad of health and environmental issues we face today, many companies are taking the initiative to improve the quality of their offerings. Whether your business is trying to get your products into stores with high ingredient standards or you’re interested in offering healthier items on your menu there are many excellent ingredient substitutions available that can improve the quality of food you offer.

Quite often it is to the benefit of a company’s pocket book to bring their foods to a greater standard. Many Americans are choosing healthier lifestyles, whether it be out of choice or a doctor’s orders. Your customers value good food.

We frequently assist our clients in modifying the following ingredients:

  • Hydrogenated fats
  • Artificial colors or flavors
  • Chemical preservatives
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Refined grain

If you have an ingredient in question, On The Menu can make substitution suggestions. Most often, your food products will benefit both in quality and taste. At On The Menu we stand behind the premise that good health is good business.

Healthy Dining Finder

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

On The Menu assists restaurants with recipe analysis and marketing of their menu items. The efforts several of our clients have made to provide nutrition information available to their guests have been noticed by a California company, Healthy Dining. Healthy Dining works in collaboration with the National Restaurant Association to list restaurants in their online directory as offering healthy dining choices.

This online directory aims to help people find healthy dining options while eating out. The Healthy Dining Finder, which started in California, has expanded nationwide in part due to a grant from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and support from 5 a Day Campaign. They have a specific nutrition criterion that limits calories and fats and advocates fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Restaurants On The Menu has helped meet the criterion for the directory include Beau Jo’s Colorado Style Pizza, Kate’s at 35th Avenue and The Delectable Egg. If you too would like to increase your business by providing the nutrition information of several or all of your menu items to your guests, please contact us for more information.
