Unidine Corp. has announced it has completely eliminated all trans-fat-laden oils and dairy products containing bovine growth hormone (BGH) company wide. The company has also formed partnerships with local growers, including a relationship with a communitysupported agriculture program in western Massachusetts that gives Unidine access to organic produce that it then incorporates into its menus at a select group of Boston-area clients.
In addition, this summer, Unidine opened its first farmer's market on a client's campus to enable those on site to buy fresh, locally grown produce.
Unidine says it recently became the nation's first foodservice management company to sign Health Care Without Harm's Healthy Food in Healthcare pledge, a voluntary commitment to serve food regarded as healthier for people and the environment.
