The National Restaurant Association announced today that Sysco Corporation will serve as the sole distribution partner of the award-winning Kids LiveWell program, an industry-wide initiative launched by the Association to provide parents with a growing selection of healthful children’s menu choices.
“Sysco’s commitment to the Kids LiveWell program and nutrition overall means families will have even greater access to an expanding number of healthful menu options for children,” said Joan McGlockton, Vice President, Industry Affairs and Food Policy, National Restaurant Association.
“This is an exciting and significant step in the Kids LiveWell initiative’s short existence and evidence of the entire foodservice industry’s enthusiasm behind healthy living solutions.”
As the program’s exclusive distribution partner, Sysco will create innovative recipes to offer to independent restaurant operators nationwide.
Chef Neil Doherty, senior director of Culinary Development for Sysco, will showcase one of the new recipes at a cooking demonstration today at the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show.
