    More about us

    Why Mindful?

    Sodexo is committed to creating healthy environments for our customers.
    Central to this effort is providing healthy, nutritious foods. We’ve listened to our customers. We’ve researched marketplace trends. Our executive chefs and registered dietitians worked together to create an exciting collection of recipes.

    The result is Mindful by Sodexo – an approach that focuses on transparency of ingredients, delicious food, satisfying portions and clarity in message so that making Mindful choices becomes second nature.

    While designed for use in our cafes, Mindful is an approach that you can easily adopt at home with your family. Read about the criteria we used to develop Mindful and learn how to bring Mindful choices home.

    You want simplicity in making healthy choices?

    Mindful delivers. We want to establish an honest and authentic experience for you so you start to understand what ingredients used in our dishes lead to healthier choices.

    Mindful Certification Program

    Look for one of our Mindful certification stickers – silver, gold or platinum the next time you’re in your workplace or school café. This designation lets you know your employer or school is committed to your health and wellness by ensuring healthy options are available to you in your café.

    The Mindful Certification Program includes a set of criteria for its cafés in categories such as Food Product and Menu, Beverages, Deli, Soup, Entree, Grill, Condiments, People, Promotion and more.

    A café must meet all the criteria in each category to achieve a certification level. The different criteria include everything from providing low-fat options and healthy meal combinations (i.e., salad instead of fries) to labeling each café item with calories per serving as sold and offering a greater variety of whole and sliced fruits.

    Nutrition Criteria

    Satisfying portions with fewer calories and great taste…that’s Mindful.
    Our chefs and dietitians worked together to create Mindful choices that meet the nutritional information listed below. Use our Mindful criteria to help plan meals, desserts and snacks for your family.
