Household products have the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval®. Healthy food can be nutritious AND delicious when dining out. SPE Certified is a unique certification and consulting program that defines a new way to eat by enhancing the nutritional quality of meals, without compromising taste. The inspiration for SPE was born from the Latin phrase Sanitas Per Escam, which means literally “Health t
hrough Food.” But since its founding in 2001, SPE has come to mean much more – a holistic approach that focuses not just on health, but on the sourcing, preparing and enhancing of food. SOURCING: Selecting ingredients seasonally, locally and sustainably, with a focus on their nutritional characteristics. PREPARING: Using specific cooking techniques that preserve the integrity and nutritional qualities of the ingredients. ENHANCING: Optimizing nutritional density by combining ingredients that are more powerful when eaten together than alone. Developed by chefs and dietitians and validated by world-renowned nutrition experts, SPE works with chefs to develop delicious seasonal dishes that provide lasting satiety from grains, fruits and vegetables, quality protein and healthy fats. This ensures one leaves the table energized, with a true feeling of well-being.
