SFE’s expert culinary, nutrition and regulatory support are second to none–for A+ audit results and peace of mind.
Working hand-in-hand with our registered dietitians, our chefs create menus that always meet USDA requirements. They also provide complete ingredient and nutrition facts to ensure that parents and students with allergies and special diets can make safe, healthy choices.
Further, SFE’s world-class nutrition and compliance training processes ensure that every district, at every school campus, is audit-ready at all times. In fact, SFE clients are so well prepared for audits that not even one of them has suffered a fiscal penalty related to our programs since SFE’s founding.
Student Tastings
SFE connects students to chefs
READ MORE
Through regular taste testing panels, students share their feedback—and shape their school menus.
This personalized approach to student input helps our culinary team get a deeper understanding of the foods your students want, crave and love. It empowers your students, too, to decide on their own district’s menu choices throughout the school year.
Because school foodservice is all we do, our SFE foodservice experts greatly value direct student feedback. These personal interactions ensure our menu items are truly student-approved.
