Energy + Well-Being Program

Because we care about you, Target and Bon Appétit Management Company are partnering to launch a new, holistic nutrition program in our headquarters cafés.

The Energy + Well-Being Indicator represents more than just numbers. It gives you a quick, at-a-glance visual that puts nutrition into the overall context of health.

The fuller the arrow, the better the meal is for you

A fuller green arrow means the meal contains fruits and/or vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, while sugar, salt, and saturated fat stay in check.

The number at the bottom represents the calories in one serving of the meal. It’s not directly tied to the fullness of the arrow. When packed with nutrients, higher calorie meals may earn a fuller green arrow than less balanced, lower calorie meals.

An arrow will be found on menu items that are typically consumed as a full meal whereas beverages, condiments, desserts, and sides not associated with a full meal will show calories, but no arrow.

At Bon Appétit Management Company, we cook from scratch with seasonal ingredients to bring you the best flavor year round. The Energy + Well-Being Indicator is designed to give you the information you need to make choices, while giving chefs the creative freedom to offer an exciting variety of foods you love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chefs evaluate menu items against a set of criteria developed by registered dietitians, which includes nutritionally important ingredients and cooking methods. The arrow is generated by adding the fruit, vegetable, whole grain, and lean protein content of the item, then subtracting for added sugar, sodium, or saturated fats. Meals with the healthiest attributes appear with a fuller arrow, while meals with fewer healthy attributes appear with a less full arrow. Meals containing more than 1200 calories, 40 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, OR 1500 milligrams of sodium appear with an empty arrow.

We attempt to provide nutrition information that is as complete as possible. The nutritional values are based on standard product formulations, data from our suppliers and are based on the specified portion size. Variations may occur due to the use of regional suppliers, seasonal influences, differences in product preparation at the unit level and recipe revisions. Nutrient values are rounded according to FDA Rounding Rules. This information is always subject to change and will be updated periodically.
