Nestlé Professional USA’s “Cool Food Menu Certification” calculates carbon footprint, guides climate-friendly choices
Nestlé Professional USA is partnering with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to bring more climate-friendly meals to consumers in foodservice settings. Cool Food Meals menu certification provides consumers a quick and easy way to spot low-carbon dishes when shopping or dining out.
The Nestlé Professional Cool Food Meals available at out-of-home dining locations will incorporate plant-based proteins from Sweet Earth Foods, a Nestlé Professional brand.
WRI calculates a meal’s carbon footprint by analyzing what it takes to produce the final product.
If the carbon footprint falls below the established per-meal threshold and meets nutritional safeguards, it’s certified as a Cool Food Meal, and the official badge appears next to the Sweet Earth logo on menus.
