You asked for it and we listened! Jason’s Deli has eliminated all artificial dyes and colors from our food. Join Rusty as he shares the news with our customers and hear the story behind why this was such an important issue for Jason’s Deli to stand behind!
Once again we are investigating something commonly found in a lot of restaurants and want to get your feedback before moving forward. So if you can, please take a minute and answer this one important question.
The FDA divides 40 approved food colors into two categories: nine synthetic dyes that are subject to FDA certification and 31 colorings that are not (the latter are derived from minerals, plants, or insects). Do you think the nine synthetic dyes should be banned from ALL food products, from food products primarily aimed at children due to the studies showing a correlation with ADHD, other behavior problems, etc or do you think the FDA should do nothing?
Bang! Rusty Coco is the co-owner and Chief Food Officer of Jason’s Deli and when an unwelcome High Fructose Corn Syrup peddler arrives in Jason’s Deli - Rusty reacts in the only way he knows how…
High Fructose Corn Syrup Eliminated
Jason’s Deli eliminated High Fructose Corn Syrup from their food in 2008. They had already eliminated trans-fat and MSG and pride themselves in serving up healthy, organic, tasty salads, sandwiches and soups all across America.

I joined several others from Jason’s Deli for a trip to California last week to tour our produce vendors. The following is a great article that our Director of Purchasing penned.
Cheers, Rusty
Hello folks,
We just returned from our annual trip to California to visit our produce growers and look for new and exciting items at a produce show. It was truly an amazing experience to stand in those fields of lush green and see what all goes into bringing that one head of lettuce or one strawberry to market.
A lot of time is spent in greenhouses searching for the right combination of plants to produce the highest quality possible thru natural cross breeding. It can take up to 5 YEARS from the first development of a seed variety to roll out for planting outside of test fields. As you may know, the farms transition to various areas of the country depending on the season. So a seed variety that does well in Salinas, CA may not do well in Yuma, AZ due to humidity, soil, or temperature change. All of our growers constantly work to improve their version of a seed variety. They have a relentless pursuit to make a variety better than the one before.
Soil beds are prepared with drip irrigation systems in most areas for maximum water conservation. The crops are rotated with each planting to maintain high levels of nutrients in the soils, while boxes are packed and palletized right there in the field.
Jason’s Deli has developed strong business relationships with our growers and it is awesome to see their commitment to highest quality produce as it is a reflection of their brand. We believe that we have aligned ourselves with some of the finest growers in the world…not only from a quality standpoint but from a food safety standpoint as well and sharing many of the same core values. At the same time, they are dealing with a strong variable called Mother Nature who occasionally spins a kink in their plans.
I have attached a couple photos to give you a better idea of what it looks like.
On July 27th we hosted our second ever Tweet-Up at our Round Rock deli! A gigantic “THANKS” goes out to everyone who came to play our trivia game to win an iPhone. It was tons of fun, and we really enjoy getting to play a hand in bringing people together. Yes, we are in the sandwich business, but as our founder Joe Tortorice, Jr. likes to say – we’re really in the “people business.” Check out our Tweet-Up on You Tube.
This Monday, July 27, from 11 am to 1 pm we will host our 2nd ever Tweet-Up at our deli in Round Rock, TX.A big thank you goes to Twitter follower Keith, who suggested it.This time around, we’re upping the fun factor with an in-house trivia game, and giving away an iPhone for the grand prize!!
Anybody is welcome to play the trivia game, but we do have a few rules.There is no time limit on answering the questions, but the trivia forms must be turned in to one of the hosts by 1:00 p.m.; trivia players must be dining at the Round Rock deli; and it’s every man or woman for themselves – meaning no lifelines, phone-a-friend, etc. It’s perfectly fine to search for answers using a phone or laptop. If there is a tie, a drawing will determine the iPhone winner.

Restaurants are big users…water, paper, electricity, gasoline, etc. We have a long way to go but we are making strides on the journey to be better stewards of the earth we all share.
We use more recycled paper products now than in previous years. Overall our continuous effort to use recycled paper has saved the equivalent of 21,223 trees and it doesn’t stop there either. In 2008, Jason’s deli saved over 9 million gallons of water, nearly 5.5 million kilowatts of energy, nearly 800,000 pounds of air pollution and over 600,000 gallons of oil.
Just by switching many of the paper products we use to recycled paper.
To rephrase Astronaut Neil Armstrong, “That’s one small step for earth, one giant leap for our delis.”
The Centers for Disease Control is telling us that nearly one out of three children in the U.S. ages 2 to 19 is overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Unless we change this, we’re going to raise generations of really unhealthy kids. Kids and parents need to know more about the food they eat and how to eat healthier. As restaurant owners, we have a responsibility to do the right thing and help fight childhood obesity. We lowered the sodium, saturated fat and calories in our kid’s menu. We serve fresh, more natural, less fooled-around-with food.
And we have an announcement! We are going to invite restaurateurs, academics and public health officials to a national summit on childhood obesity next year. We’re scheduled to visit several cities in the next few weeks to talk it up. Stay tuned.
