Nutrition Information |
Welcome to Maschio's Food Services Nutrition Information Service!
Healthy meals grow healthy kids! That is the philosophy Maschio's is dedicated to incorporating into our school meal programs. "Mac" Maschio has helped us spread the news about the importance proper nutrition has in developing healthy children with healthy minds. School districts benefit from a food service company that takes a priority approach to good nutrition. Test scores, absenteeism and behavior are all affected by a student's nutritional status. Maschio's takes good nutrition and good food seriously!
Discriminating purchasing and preparation techniques are all taken into consideration when planning menus for children. Maschio's has implemented the use of increased fresh fruits and vegetables and lower sodium and fat foods on school menus. We have increased the selections of whole grains and have eliminated frying of foods in most districts. We are constantly researching and procuring healthier, acceptable snacks for a la carte programs. Maschio's has worked in conjunction with districts to develop their nutrition component in their Wellness Policies. Marketing the healthier choices has been what sets us apart from other companies. Students are learning and becoming more aware of what is good for their bodies and brains by coming through the lunch line!
The following list of nutrient ingredient information is prepared from the Child Nutrition Data Base 9.3 unless otherwise specified by brand name. This list may not be all inclusive and is subject to change.
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
For life-threatening food allergies, meals from home provide the safest option. Many of our menu items contain common allergens; please see the food label section for further ingredient information. Please contact your child's cafeteria manger for information on brands and product types used in their specific cafeteria, understanding that substitutions, while not likely, may occur. If medically necessary, substitute meal options may be provided, please contact Hallie Smith, Registered Dietitian at 973-598-0005 or at hsmith@maschiofood.com. A written physician's request is required.
