SPE Certified

Menu

Green building has LEED. Coffee has Fair Trade. Food now has SPE Certified.

SPE Certified is a unique certification, which recognizes a foodservice establishment's commitment to nutrition, sustainability and importantly, its customers' well-being.

No trustworthy, independent, third-party food certification existed with a focus on sustainability and nutrition. Until SPE. The conscious food movement is growing, and SPE is working to extend it to the food you eat at restaurants and other places outside of your home.
