Healthy Alternatives
FSA Portland's Healthy Alternatives program is an awareness initiative that includes a host of healthy food choices including gluten free, low fat, lactose free, low sodium and more.
One of the biggest concerns in the world of healthy alternatives is gluten intolerance. It's believed that at least 1 in 133 people have problems digesting gluten. This is a genetic disorder known as Celiac disease.
Find out more about gluten intolerance at Celiac.com
Social Consciousness
At Food Services of America we can also help you understand and meet the social demands of your customers. Products that are manufactured with strict guidelines representing strong social convictions, humane treatment of animals and fair trade qualify as issues related to Social Consciousness.

 Diners across the Northwest are becoming increasingly concerned about sustainability issues, natural products, organic foods, and supporting the Regional economy. Learn about restaurants that support SNOR iniatives.
As a leading steward of the community, Food Services of America recognizes and embraces its responsibility to support a healthy and renewable food source as well as a  strong and sustainable economy. FSA's SNORSM campaign, Food Alliance Certification, and Food Hub partnerhip are symbols of that resolve.
Food Show 'Waste Zero' Goal
In 2011, Food Services of America took eco-friendly to a new level by bringing you two 'Waste Zero' Food Shows, both with amazing results. The Universal Show diverted 81% of waste from the landfill, while the Annual Food & Product Show in October recycled and composted more than 86% of its waste. Learn more...
SNORSM stands for Sustainable, Natural, Organic, and Regional
What do each of these terms mean? Sustainable Products are designated sustainable by a recognized third-party certifier. Certification ensures the future availability and health of the resources used to produce a product or service.
FSA supports sustainable agriculture through our association with the Food Alliance and sustainable products like Shepherd’s Grain and fresh produce. The Portland Branch of Food Services of America is the first broadline distributor in the nation that has been Certified by the Food Alliance for sustainable business practices.
Natural Products derived from natural (non-synthetic) food sources. Any alterations during production and processing must not change the composition of the original product.
We support the ‘Natural movement’ with products like Blue Mesa Beef.
Organic
Products grown within the standards and requirements of the USDA Organic Code.
FSA supports organic lifestyles through partnership with Earthbound Farms, the Organically Grown Company, and many local farmers.
Regional
Products grown or manufactured within the regional area designated by each FSA branch.
FSA supports the economic and cultural identity of the Northwest through sponsorship of the award winning Dining Out In The NorthWest (DO IT NW) Campaign, and through partnership with hundreds of regional manufacturers and growers.
