The menu at Giardino Gourmet Salads will now show customers exactly what's in their food, thanks to the Miami-based chain's partnership with MenuTrinfo, a nutritional analysis and training firm. Giardino Gourmet Salads will rely on MenuTrinfo's real-time consulting, nutritional analysis, and allergen- and gluten-free menu development to enhance its fresh and healthy menu options, said co-founder Kenny Lugo

"We value our customers and the community and believe in giving our guests nutritional empowerment. In this way, they can choose the best product for them among our offerings of great tasting salads, soups, sandwiches and wraps," Lugo said. "Through this partnership with MenuTrinfo, we are making a commitment to nutritional transparency and to our community and customers.

MenuTrinfo, a certified Women's Business Enterprise company, was founded five years ago by Betsy Craig and her husband, Rocky. In addition to nutritional analysis and allergen- and gluten-free menu development, the MenuTrinfo team is working with Giardino Gourmet Salads on nutritional certification, disclaimers and general nutritional content for guest communication.

"This agreement really takes the Giardino menu to the next level and shows the level of dedication the founders and executive team has for their customers," said Betsy Craig. "They understand that nutritional transparency is an important part of protecting the lives and health of their customers. I believe that health and wellness go hand-in-hand and that great tasting food plays a major role in both. I am thrilled to be working with their team."
