Yes

A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):

Our vegan –vegetarian program has been set forth by our corporate chefs to ensure that daily intake for vegan-vegetarian customers is met. It is designed to allow customization of the ingredients available for the meal period as well as any other of the vegan-vegetarian items from the salad bar that would heat up well and complement the dish being served. Aramark offers a meatless option daily that helps reduce the amount of animal derived food purchases.


A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:

Aramark is committed to non-pen raised pork by 2017. We do offer a complete protein, vegan option at Hicks daily. Sometimes the dish at the Sautee station will contain dairy, but it is a made to order station that allows for ingredient omission.
