Nutrition
Our registered dietitians and professional chefs have been working hard in our kitchens to bring you tasty and nutritious new additions for the fall. We’re always reviewing our ingredients and nutrition standards, focusing on minimizing added sugars, sodium and saturated fat while delivering the flavor you expect.
Continuing to raise our standards
Mom’s Meals® is committed to continuous improvement, regularly evaluating and evolving our meals to reflect the latest nutrition standards and support the health needs of the clients we serve.
Nutrition standards have been strengthened across several areas:
- Lower sodium: Meals now average sodium is now less than 650 milligrams per meal.
- Less added sugars: Less than 20% of calories per meals, with less than 10 grams on average, excluding puréed meals.
- Fewer carbohydrates for diabetes-friendly meals: Entrées now contain less than 55 grams of carbohydrates, along with established standards for sodium, protein, fiber, saturated fat and added sugars.
- More fiber: Diabetes-friendly, heart-friendly and lower-sodium meals now contain more than 7 grams of fiber per meal, strengthening the previous standard of more than 7 grams on average.
We're also making ingredient information clearer by continuing to simplify ingredient statements across several meals while meeting USDA and FDA requirements.
