What is Get the Good Stuff?
One of the biggest challenges when trying to make healthy lifestyle choices is eating outside of your home. How many calories is that sandwich? How much fat is in that sauce? It can be hard to know if you’re making the right choice.
At Dalhousie, we’re working hard to make it easier for you to find healthier, more environmentally friendly, sustainably sourced food. We call this: the Good Stuff.
Our Get the Good Stuff logo is a simple, easily identifiable way-finding system that will help guide customers towards these options.
