We will be joined on the webinar by guest speakers:

At Life Time Foundation, a public non-profit, we collaborate with school food leaders nationwide to help them serve healthy, delicious, minimally processed food to kids around the country. We currently partner with more than 340 school districts to support 2.9 million children daily. You can find a full list of our partners — including New York City Department of Education, Denver Public Schools and Minneapolis Public Schools — on our website. The movement to provide delicious, nutritious school food across the country is growing. Alongside our incredible partners, Life Time Foundation is proud to work at that movement’s forefront.
To supplement their efforts to serve more healthy, nutritious meals, many school districts and food service professionals have asked Life Time Foundation to collaborate with food manufacturers to advance the Ingredient Guide and availability of foods free of ingredients of concern. As the number of school districts utilizing Green Onion continues to grow, we want to provide them with the most accurate product information to guide their purchasing decisions.
Green Onion is Life Time Foundation’s free software tool that empowers school districts, purchasing cooperatives and group purchasing organizations to automatically analyze their products for the Unwanted and Watch ingredients in the Ingredient Guide, as well as 600 possible allergens. The tool also allows users to search for alternatives from thousands of K-12 products, export allergen reports and track progress on a personalized dashboard.
Life Time Foundation and 1WorldSync are co-hosting a supplier webinar to address questions and explain more details on their product content request and the Green Onion platform.
Life Time Foundation and 1WorldSync is looking forward to seeing everyone on April 12th.
