Kirsten Saenz Tobey, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer of Revolution Foods, describes how the B Corp she co-founded is helping kids now and in the future. “Our focus has always been to build lifelong healthy eaters, and to do that through primarily school and institutional food systems and access to high quality, healthy food,” she says. One of Revolution Foods’ keys to this strategy is getting kids food they like. “Every time we design a new dish or a new meal, our chefs go out into school cafeterias to test it with kids and get feedback on which they liked and which they didn't like as much.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Revolution Foods’ Kirsten Saenz Tobey on Foods Kids Like

“We’ve always been focused on communities and schools that have less access… we’ve made sure that our meals are healthy, fresh, nutritious, and delivered everyday, but also that they are fully reimbursable through the federal meal reimbursement program.” This week on The Produce Moms, Kirsten Saenz Tobey, Co-founder and Chief Impact Officer of Revolution Foods shared about the incredible impact being made in schools around the nation. Revolution Foods provides 3 million meals a week to over 3000 school sites in 16 States. Their mission is to provide fresh, healthy meals that are fully reimbursable through the federal meal reimbursement program. Children who may not have access to healthy meal options are given the opportunity to receive the nutrition they need to help set them up for academic success. “You’re operating with the principle that food is culture. Food is such a part of how we celebrate life, family traditions, and I love how that principle carries forward in Revolution Foods ” One of the unique aspects of Revolution Foods is their attention to crafting culturally relevant foods for the schools in each region. Revolution Foods has a unique approach to how the food is designed. They are kid inspired and chef crafted! Revolution Foods is partnering with schools to help implement breakfast programs, and working to make this option as convenient as possible for schools and students. Their foods are free of artificial colors, sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, and so many other additives that are found in so much of our food offerings in the current market. “We’re incredibly focused on making sure that kids always have access to fresh, whole produce.” For more information about Revolution Foods, check out www.revolutionfoods.com.
