Healthy New Arby’s Kid Meals

Starting tomorrow, Arby’s will roll out a new Kids Meal featuring more wholesome choices parents can feel good about serving their children.  Guided by nutritionists and customer insights gleaned from moms, Arby’s new Kids Meal will include Chiquita® apple slices and a strawberry yogurt dipping sauce as the side item, instead of fries. New Kids Meal items include:

• Jr. Turkey and Cheese Sandwich, apple slices with strawberry yogurt dipping sauce and a choice of: low-fat white milk, Capri Sun® 100% Fruit Juice, or bottled water.
• Kraft® Macaroni & Cheese entree, apple slices with strawberry yogurt dipping sauce and a choice of: low-fat white milk, Capri Sun 100% Fruit Juice, or bottled water.

The new Kids Meals have reduced calories by an estimated 40 percent, total fat by approximately 70 percent and sodium by an average of 50 percent, compared to Arby’s previous Kids Meal offerings.

The Arby’s Foundation is pledging to make a real difference in the lives of American children, by recently partnering with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign, a national effort to end childhood hunger in America by 2015.  As a No Kid Hungry Campaign partner, the Arby’s Foundation will support the cause with donations, including an upcoming restaurant fundraising program and national and local awareness support through engagement of customers, employees and partners. The Arby’s Foundation’s goal is to contribute a minimum of $1 million to the No Kid Hungry Campaign in 2011. Learn more about Dine Out For No Kid Hungry
