Social Responsibility

   
FHMMC FANS believes our mission extends not only to what we serve, but what we purchase.  We will act responsibly to nourish the whole person and do so in an earth friendly way, whenever possible.

Zero Trans Fat Oil - All oils used in our kitchens have been transitioned to Zero Trans-Fat oils.

Ocean Friendly Seafood - We support the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program to assure that seafood served in our locations comply with sustainability requirements.   

National Pasteurized Eggs – All eggs arrive from USDA farm hens which are fed diets that include no hormones, no antibiotics and no animal by-products.  NPE uses only Grade AA eggs.  

Coffee - With great tasting Fair Trade Certified organic coffee it’s easy to make a difference.  One decision – like which coffee to enjoy in the morning – can make a difference for farmers, for wildlife, and for the future of our planet.  Most Fair Trade Certified™ coffee is also certified organic. Organic farming produces pure, exceptional coffee grown in harmony with its natural habitat. There are no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers used, so the only thing you’ll find in your coffee cup is great taste.  Organic coffee is grown under the shade of a forest canopy, which is home to countless animals,  birds, and insects. Shade-grown coffee ripens slowly, so the beans have a smooth, sweet balance and fully-developed flavor.

Milk – We serve milk that is free from artificial growth hormones.  All milk served is rBST-free.

Poultry – We serve poultry produced without antibiotics.

Beef -  We serve beef produced without antibiotics.

Local purchasing – We purchase fresh and local ingredients whenever possible.

Minimally processed foods –  We believe in purchasing and serving minimally processed foods whenever possible to provide high quality, preservative free, whole food natural ingredients in our recipes.
