Percentage of total dining services food purchases comprised of conventionally produced animal products:
45.50

A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory expenditures on animal products:

Aramark distinguishes conventional vs. non- conventional animal products through third party certifications. Products without a certification are considered conventional, as Aramark does not make their own claims about what is/is not sustainable. Aramark uses a product tracking database where they can track through suppliers methods of sourcing these types of products.
