Newly enhanced, complimentary digital resource uniquely helps schools remove unwanted ingredients in favor of healthier alternatives
Green Onion goes well beyond simply the Nutrition Facts label, flagging ingredients of concern listed in the Ingredient Guide for Better School Food Purchasing, a science-based resource created by school nutrition professionals in partnership with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Featuring a streamlined and user-friendly layout, completed in partnership with the Eliassen Group, the digital tool is now easier to use. Users can track their progress towards the elimination of unwanted ingredients, as well as those that have the potential to be overused, which are commonly found in foods of lower nutritional quality or tend to indicate that a food is highly processed. Support from a Life Time Foundation registered dietitian also is available to help schools get started.
"Green Onion is an invaluable resource to inform and guide unlike anything available," said Anneliese Tanner, Executive Director, Food and Nutrition Services at
Green Onion continues to receive real-time product data directly from K-12 food suppliers via 1WorldSync, the largest Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), ensuring reliable, up-to-date information is always available. As more and more manufacturers upload their ingredients, positive change will accelerate.
"We know that nutrition and access to healthy, nourishing foods is vital to ensuring that children are physically and mentally ready to learn," said Angie Check, RD, CD, Nutrition Project Coordinator at the Life Time Foundation.
