How Edacious Enabled Cream Co. To Use Verified Nutrition to Win With Schools
School Procurement Needed Proof, Not Just Claims
Cream Co. has built trusted supply chains for restaurants, retailers, and institutions across the West Coast. As demand for healthier school meals grows, they saw an opportunity to show that their fully cooked beef patties deliver meaningful nutritional benefits for students — and to back that claim with independent data.
Working with Edacious, Cream Co. tested patties sourced from their primary suppliers and compared them to common competitors. The findings showed clear, measurable advantages in the nutrients most important for child health.
With verified results and public platform pages, Cream Co. can now offer districts a transparent, data-backed story that strengthens their value proposition in a competitive procurement environment.
Side-by-Side Testing With Clear, Shareable Insights
Edacious analyzed Cream Co.’s fully cooked patties and benchmarked them against competitor products. The platform delivered per-sample results, nutrient comparisons, public preview links, and support for Nutrition Facts Panel updates — giving Cream Co. everything needed to communicate results confidently.
A Stronger Nutritional Story for Schools
Testing revealed consistent, meaningful advantages in the areas school nutrition directors prioritize:
- 4× more Omega-3s and a healthier Omega-6:3 ratio (3.6:1 vs 8.9:1)
- 36% less trans fat, supporting heart health
- Higher levels of riboflavin, vitamin A, and vitamin E, improving energy, immunity, and cell protection
- 70% more potassium and 40% more iron, key for growth and cognition
These findings became district-friendly reporting tools, including Cream Co.’s “School Nutrition Report Card.”
School districts don’t just need a good story, they need clear evidence. The Edacious results gave us independent proof that our beef delivers meaningful nutritional benefits for students, and that’s a game-changer in procurement conversations.
Data That Opens Doors in Institutional Purchasing
With transparent, third-party results, Cream Co. can clearly demonstrate why their patties are a healthier choice for students. Strengthening position in district RFPs, supporting menu justification, and elevating their regenerative sourcing story.
The data is also informing future work, including integrating nutrition testing with lifecycle analysis to offer schools a full “nutrition + climate” impact profile.
