Food Services Company Aramark Promises Healthier Meals

U.S. food services giant Aramark says it will develop healthier meals for its clients.

The Philadelphia-based company serves 2 billion meals a year in schools, hospitals, universities, businesses, sports venues and other settings, the Associated Press reported.

Aramark is working with the American Heart Association to reduce fat and salt in its meals by 20 percent by 2020, and said it will increase the amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains by the same amount.

The amount of produce the company buys is expected to rise from 200 million pounds to 240 million pounds a year, the AP reported.
