Introducing Cool Foods

Coolfood meals are a delicious way for you to take action on climate change! Look for the CoolFood icon on our Express items, and menu boards for menu choices that are climate friendly. Brand new this year, try our Power Bowls at Kente Café, an entire station of all CoolFood bowls.

Coolfood Meals are a simple and delicious way for you to help the planet. Coolfood is run by the World Resources Institute (WRI), a global research non-profit organization that builds solutions to urgent environmental challenges. Coolfood Meals have a low carbon footprint, already meeting the level of food-related emissions the World Resource Institute’s research say we need meals to have by 2030.

So… what does low carbon mean?

World Resources Institute has established daily carbon allowances for typical meals to help us collectively achieve the 2030 Paris Agreement climate goals.

Every Low Carbon Certified Meal has emissions 38% lower than the average regional meal, ensuring it aligns with these allowances.
