Environmental Responsibility:
St. Edmund's Academy and Metz Culinary Management have partnered to become more environmentally aware. St. Edmund's Academy students, faculty, staff and Metz participate in recycling plastic, cardboard, newspaper and kitchen grease. Metz purchases food from local vendors whenever possible and when the seasons permit. The word “Fresh” in the menu lets you know that these items are fresh picked and have not been frozen or processed.

HEALTHchecks:
HEALTHcheck items offer limited use of saturated fats, lower calories, and lower sodium content. Complete nutritional information is available in the dining hall for each item. V=Vegetarian. All breads and pastas offered are whole grain including whole grain white bread, wheat bread and wheat pasta. Brown rice is served in place of white rice.
