Kaiser Permanente: Sustainable food policy

Description

This is a sustainable food policy for Kaiser Permanente Health System. 

Kaiser Permanente aspires to improve the health of our members, employees, our communities and the environment by increasing access to fresh, healthy food in and around KP facilities. Kaiser Permanente supports food systems that are ecologically sound, economically viable and socially responsible by the way food is purchased. Good and best criteria have been defined for a healthy eating environment based on evidence-based research. Food items that meet the Best criteria will earn the green Healthy Picks label, while food items that meet the Good criteria will be marked with the orange Healthy Picks label.
