Aramark partner ballparks and colleges named among the most
vegan-friendly by PETA

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ARMK #plantbased—Aramark
(NYSE: ARMK), the award-winning food and beverage partner of nine Major
League Baseball teams and more than 350 colleges and universities, is
providing guests with greater variety, choice and access to healthier
menu options at ballparks, workplaces, hospital cafés and college and
university dining halls.


These plant-forward, vegetarian and vegan menu options are receiving
attention and recognition, with two ballparks Aramark serves — Citi
Field and Kauffman Stadium – recently recognized on PETA’s
2019 most vegan-friendly ballparks list and three higher education
partners — University of Florida, University of South Florida and
Arizona State University – appearing on PETA’s
most recent list of the most vegan-friendly campuses.


AT THE DIAMOND


Citi Field, Kauffman Stadium and the seven other ballparks Aramark
serves, have expanded vegan and vegetarian menu options, to ensure they
are providing the choices that meet individual lifestyle and dietary
preferences. Highlights this season include:

ingredients including Brussels sprouts, kale, green cabbage, romaine
lettuce, carrots, butternut squash, red cabbage, white & red quinoa,

IN THE DINING HALL


While Aramark’s culinary team was developing new plant-forward menu
options (dishes that center on foods including vegetables, whole grains,
legumes and nuts) for ballparks, chefs in Aramark’s dining operations in
Healthcare, Higher Education and Business Dining have also been busy.


In response to the growing demand for plant-forward menus, the company
recently launched its first dedicated plant-forward dining concept, The
Twisted Beet. Proof that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring,
The Twisted Beet’s plant-forward comfort food menu puts a healthy spin
on dishes like meatball subs and mac and cheese, and emphasizes
vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes, but still offers a
proportionately small quantity of animal protein.

“As consumers continue to embrace plant forward eating, we’ve stepped up
to the plate and expanded our menu selections, in collaboration with
industry-leading partners, to ensure we’re providing choices that meet
individual lifestyle and dietary preferences,” said Heidi Hogan, Vice
President of Product Development and Culinary Innovation at Aramark.
“We’re continuing to lean on the expertise and creativity of our chefs
to reimagine and innovate dishes that span the spectrum of plant forward
eating; from entrees that emphasize vegetables, to 100% plant-based
menus.”


Motivated by the company’s groundbreaking Healthy
for Life® 20 by 20 collaboration with the American Heart Association,
Aramark launched a major plant-forward
initiative to elevate the role of fruits, vegetables and whole
grains on its menus. Fueled by the science and research of the
Association, Aramark introduced innovative recipes and aligned with
existing efforts to accelerate climate-healthy menus available on
colleges and universities, hospital cafés and workplace location menus.
Currently, approximately 30 percent of the main dishes Aramark serves
across its college and university dining, hospital café and workplace
locations are vegan or vegetarian.
