Vegan (Strict) Vegetarian Meals are available for those customers who exclude all foods derived from animals (including meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, honey, eggs, and dairy products) or their by-products from their diets). The Vegan Vegetarian has the same Recommended Daily Allowances as an average individual. A vegetarian can get enough protein from his or her diet, as long as a variety of foods are eaten in the amounts that are adequate. Since meat, fish, and poultry are major contributors of iron, zinc, and B vitamins in most diets, vegetarians should pay close attention to make sure that they consume enough of these nutrients.

- Fresh vegetables
