The survey assigned a score of 1 to 5 (5 stars = highest rating, 0 stars = lowest rating) based on eight criteria, including how healthy meals, snack boxes, single snacks and other offerings were; the calorie levels of snacks, meals and snack boxes; improvement over last year’s survey; and menu innovation and cooperation in providing nutritional information.
