Edamam Partners with fresh&co to Deliver Nutrition Data for Its Fresh and Healthy Meals

October 18, 2016 - Edamam, a provider of value-added nutrition data services has partnered with fresh&co, one of the most innovative and forward looking restaurant chains in New York, to supply nutrition data for all its menu items. The data will include not only the standard data on calories and macronutrients, but also details on micronutrient content and the appropriateness of each menu item to a range of diets, form vegan and gluten-free to paleo and low-sodium.

To deliver the service, Edamam has worked closely with fresh&co's team and chefs, delivering a custom service on top of its Nutrition Wizard Pro tool. The Nutrition Wizard Pro is a self service tool that any restaurant or recipe owner can use to analyze in real time with very high accuracy the nutrition of any recipe or ingredient list.

"As a New York based company, it was a pleasure to work with fresh&co, which is the go-to eatery for the busy professional looking for a healthy meal, quickly. We share with fresh&co the belief that fresh, carefully sourced, natural and organic food is the best recipe for healthy living. Nutrition data is just one more ingredient in this recipe that makes it even more appealing," commented Victor Penev, Edamam's CEO and Founder.

fresh&co is dedicated to delighting and surprising customers with creative uses of new and unexpected ingredients and novel recipes that are rarely seen in the quick service category. Its signature line of chopped salads is supplemented by a wide and seasonally changing range of soups, freshly-made sandwiches and full spectrum of breakfast options.

"Our customers want and more importantly, have the right to know what is in their food. We go to a great distance to communicate where and how we source our ingredients. By adding nutritional data to the mix, we're allowing customers to be aware of exactly what they're consuming," added Alex Perez, fresh&co's COO.
