Canada: 7-Eleven joins Informed Dining program
7-Eleven Canada will provide more nutritional information for customers after joining the B.C. government’s Informed Dining program.
7-Eleven customers will have in-store access to information on calories, sodium and 12 other core nutrients for prepared foods and beverages at 600 7-Eleven location across Canada.
"Being awarded the Informed Dining designation from the B.C. Ministry of Health is a great honour for 7-Eleven Canada, and it's a first for our convenience industry," said Doug Rosencrans, GM & VP, 7-Eleven Canada. "The program helps us to build healthier communities and trusting relationships with our customers."
The Informed Dining program builds on 7- Eleven Canada's nutrition transparency program. In the fall of 2016, 7-Eleven began voluntarily posting calorie labels nationwide on non-packaged foods and beverages – one of the first quick service restaurants in Canada to do so, according to the company.
The Informed Dining program is a voluntary nutrition information program for food service establishments developed by the Province of British Columbia.
