One Out of Every Four College Students Wants Vegan Meals According to

ARAMARK Nationwide Survey; Campuses Across Country Offer 'Vegan' This

Fall

 

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2004--According to

ARAMARK's recent nationwide survey completed by over 100,000 college

students, nearly a quarter said finding vegan meals on campus was important

to them. Vegan dishes contain no meat, fish, poultry or other products derived

from animals such as dairy, eggs or honey.

 

As a result, ARAMARK (NYSE:RMK) has added dozens of vegan menu items

as part of the company's innovative and flexible Just4U menu program,

available on nearly two dozen ARAMARK-managed college campuses this

fall.

 

New menu items include Sweet Thai Tofu Stir-Fry, Broccoli Teriyaki, Chili

Garlic Stir-Fry, Vegan Cheese Quesadillas, Vegan " Chicken " Burritos,

Eggless " Egg " Salad, " Turkey " Subs, and Vegan " Cheese " Burgers. Each dish

contains flavorful meat or cheese alternatives, made from soy or other vegan

products.

 

" Our DiningStyles research demonstrated that demand for vegan is

especially strong among college students, as fully 24% of students indicated

that vegan dishes were important to them versus only 18% for low-carb, " said
