What is Sodexo policy on hydrogenated and trans fats?
A. Sodexo intends to take a balanced approach to this issue by identifying key products where the biggest impact could be made on the reduction of hydrogenated fats. We are working with a small number of major suppliers and products to try and reduce these fats, but the wholescale removal of hydrogenated fats would not be possible in the short term. Alternatively Sodexo is seeking to purchase products with lower levels of hydrogenated fats. Together, these strategies should result in the reduction of major sources of trans fats from the products which Sodexo purchases. Where our clients request the complete removal of foods containing hydrogenated fats this requires a comprehensive change in the content of menus and provision of snack items.
