Colorado Dietetic Association - Eat Right Colorado

The Smart Meal Seal was created by the Department of Public Health and Environment to establish nutrition requirements specifically designed for restaurant meals. Restaurants can showcase those entrees that are lower in fat, calories, and sodium and include components such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables by highlighting them with the Smart Meal Seal. Promotional materials and publicity will educate consumers about what the Smart Meal Seal signifies when seen on a menu.
