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.
Everything’s easy to understand and incorporate into your life. We’ll help you
eat better. Move better. Feel better. Be the absolute best you can be.
We’re Mindful, and we’re here for you. All of you.
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.
Satisfying portions with fewer calories and great taste…that’s Mindful.

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.
