Food policy

The mission of Food Services at the MHI is to provide quality meals to cafeteria clients. Using an innovative approach, the department took a healthy turn in 2005 even before the governmental action plan “Miser sur une saine alimentation : une question de qualité” was implemented. Following the regional implementation of the action plan, Food Services officially launched its food policy in March 2011.

The cafeteria offers MHI-certified healthy products that adhere to the food policy's six components:

  • no trans fat
  • low in saturated fat
  • low in sodium
  • low in sugar
  • high in fibre

The menu was changed to include meals that are part of the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fish, legumes and whole grain products. The cafeteria has a trove of foods that will let you make healthy choices at each meal. You can also get frozen meals that are made on site and that are MHI-certified!
