About No Junk
The journey began in 1991 when a Danish caterer found herself tasked with providing school lunches for a Seattle-based institution. Despite her lack of prior experience in school catering, she approached the challenge much as she did for her own three children – with a commitment to crafting meals from scratch, using fresh ingredients, and catering to the palates of young eaters. This approach mirrored the culinary traditions of her homeland, Denmark.
In Denmark, children are introduced to whole grains and fresh produce from a tender age, with lunchtime staples often including rye bread, protein-rich spreads, as well as an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. This dietary ethos not only shapes their physical well-being but also nurtures a positive relationship with food.
Guided by her passion for exquisite cuisine and a Danish culinary philosophy, No Junk was founded.
The vision driving this endeavor was succinctly captured in the mantra: Good Food For Healthy Minds.


No Junk is on a mission to fuel learning and support healthy habits

We are proud of what we do. Our concept builds on convenience for all parties. Here are just a few comments from some of our customers

Thank you for your work. You are the best food service with whom I have worked over my 25 years in administration.
Maureen Blum
Head of School St. Benedict, Seattle
The smell of fresh baked bread and cookies, the taste of Salmon Chowder or other soups, the sight of homemade pizza, fresh fruit and salad and a multitude of other healthy options greet our students each and everyday. Like one of our Seniors said, “No Junk has brought their “A” game this year”.
I believe that No Junk Inc. is a great option to the deep fat fried fast food world that we live in today.

Last night, Ryan, my kindergartener told me that I was a good cook but not as good as the people who make his lunch.

Don’t tell our students, but even when they think they’re eating “junk food”, No Junk secretly offers them a healthier version than they’ll get anywhere else. I have been impressed with their healthy versions of common foods kids like to eat.
Ken Fox
Director of Facilities, Eastside Catholic School

I am thrilled with the food and service No Junk-Good Food has brought to my daughter’s school, St. Benedict. I had assumed that my daughter Avery couldn’t eat the meals served due to her food intolerance.
So, at first, I continued to pack her lunch. It took me months to figure out how to feed her well after her dietary restrictions were diagnosed and I didn’t expect a food service to modify its meals for her dietary challenges.
One day I was in the cafeteria and said to No Junks Operations Manager Jeff Duncan “I’m sure you aren’t able to accommodate a gluten and dairy sensitivity, are you?” To my surprise and delight the response was “Absolutely, we can do that”. Since that day, No Junk has gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter has a healthy, delicious meal every day.
No Junk has far exceeded my expectations of an onsite food service. I have been grateful how they have worked thoughtfully with my daughter and I. Avery is so happy to eat meals with her classmates and loves the food. I love the peace of mind it gives me knowing she is eating healthy food she enjoys

St. Benedict Mother.

Thank you for creating such wonderful lunches for the kids at Eastside Catholic School. Ben is our last child in high school and the only one out of our 3 boys who continually raves about how good your lunches are as well as being reasonably priced. His older brothers went to a different high school. Keep up the good work!

Eastside Catholic Parent
Dear No Junk Inc,
I am loving the hot lunch. My Favorite food so far is the quesadillas. I have been thinking about how hard you have been working to make the lunch and bring it to us. It is great that it is so easy to order and so fun.
All of the foods are my favorite and it is very good. I hope you enjoy making hot lunch for us at St. Francis. I think everyone that ordered hot lunch loves it, and I know I do. It was sad when there was not a hot lunch, but now we are all happy because you are here.
St. Francis Student
St. Benedict School had been searching for a hot lunch provider for our school for several years — we wanted someone that would serve our children healthy, (mostly) organic, kid-friendly food at a reasonable price. Most companies promised healthy and organic but then went to the ‘big box’ stores and simply purchased heat and serve items.
No Junk is exactly what we were looking for! No short-cuts, prepackaged or frozen food here —their friendly, smiling chefs are on site every morning cooking/chopping and creating meals that all our kids love! Even better, parents love them too! The price is right (I can’t purchase sack lunch items for my 3 kids for less than the price I pay for a hot, healthy lunch!), the guilt of not packing a lunch from home is gone knowing that they are getting a wonderful meal at school, and they are trying new foods that they would never eat if mom or dad made it at home.
My son will only eat the Alfredo sauce from No Junk—he thinks it’s the best he’s ever had! I especially like the “Menu Planner” part of No Junk—we can print out the menu at home and order meals online for just a day or even the entire month—definitely a bonus for busy parents!
I am happy that our school’s finally found a company that realizes school lunches can be both kid and parent approved!

Food For Thought
It is no secret that nutritional food is important for the health and development of children. But the significant impact it has daily and on their future has become more and more evident throughout the years in numerous studies, which we also see from our own experience in working with school food.
Cognitive development
Students who regularly consume a balanced breakfast have been found to perform 17.5% better on math tests and show improvements in cognitive performance, according to a study published in the “Journal of School Health.”
Social and emotional wellbeing
According to a study published in “Public Health Nutrition,” students who regularly consumed fruits and vegetables had higher school attendance rates and were more likely to participate in extracurricular activities, as well as lower odds of experiencing emotional and behavioral problems. Studies have also shown that sharing meals with others can strengthen social bonds, reduce stress, and improve mental health.
Behavior and concentration
Nutrient-rich foods, especially those containing complex carbohydrates and proteins, help stabilize blood sugar levels, leading to consistent energy levels throughout the day. This can improve students’ ability to concentrate and stay focused during lessons.
Eating habits
A study published in “Pediatrics” found that children who were exposed to a variety of fruits and vegetables early in life were more likely to continue consuming these foods as they grew older.
