G4G food cards and drG4G food and drink cards are some of the most visual program components because your diners will see them when choosing what to eat. Once recipes and food/drink items have been assigned color and sodium codes, you’re ready to create food cards. Producing food cards properly is a critical step in the G4G program and requires attention to detail. Food and drink cards with sodium codes educate diners and highlight the program as well as meet G4G Program Requirement 4: Standardized display of G4G color and sodium codes.
Aim to use individual food cards and drink cards for every menu item to identify the food or drink and label the G4G color and sodium code at the point of selection. Neatly display food cards in front of (or nearby) each menu item, so diners can quickly and easily identify high-performance foods.
