Nutritional information

Intent:

To help occupants make informed food consumption choices.

Post Date: 01 May, 2019 Status: Approved Projects may achieve Feature 44, Part 1 by displaying nutritional information for non-packaged foods and beverages on a list of primary ingredients which is clearly displayed (per meal or item) at point-of-decision on packaging, menus or signage. If information is displayed on a digital resource, signage is present at point-of-decision to direct individuals to the digital resource. Signage is subject to a spot check during performance review.
Post Date: 26 Jul, 2017 Status: Approved For projects that prepare foods on site from raw ingredients, which are not able to comply with the requirements of Part 1, the project may offer point-of-decision prompts in lieu of labeling. The prompts must be based on a ranking system that encourages the consumption of nutritionally-dense foods. Food prompts must be clearly displayed and must be used in conjunction with a food advertising and/or messaging campaign that allows individuals to quickly and easily identify nutritious foods and beverages. An explanation of the ranking system must be made available to all occupants. The ranking system will be verified by the WELL Reviewer at the documentation review. All strategies should comply with best practices and/or dietary guidelines and be supported by existing scientific, medical, or industry research. Please note that all foods offered will still need to comply with Feature 39 Processed foods.
