Eat Well Utah is the Utah Department of Health and Human Service’s statewide program to make healthy food choices more available wherever food is served or sold. Cafeterias, concession stands, institutional meal service, and catering services are invited to participate.
By participating in Eat Well Utah, organizations will work with Salt Lake County Health Department to identify how they can better service their customers by making the “healthy choice the easy choice.” This may include making changes to their food offerings, recipes, product placement, or signage.
Expanding your healthy options can benefit your venue.
The potential benefits of participating in Eat Well Utah are many, and include the following:
- Contributing to the health and wellness of customers
- Setting a positive example for employees, students, community members, or other institutions
- Increasing consumer demand for healthier food provided by food suppliers
- Strengthening local food systems
- Increasing revenue by increasing customer satisfaction
- Offering a positive marketing tool
