FAQs about MRc5 :

What if a food item is produced nearby (say at a processing plant) but the ingredients aren’t sourced locally. Does that count towards the 100-mile regional criteria?

Can our project earn this credit with just a one-time purchase of food for an event in the building?

We have several tenants in our building. Do we have to track food purchases from all of them? What if they won't give us their purchasing data?

Do we have to include food and beverages that are purchased for our vending machines?

EBOM-2009 MRc5:Sustainable Purchasing—Food

Tenant/Owner Do Not Purchase Food for Occupants...So I Did.

I have wriiten verification the Tenant (State Office) and Owner do not make food purchases (none for tea/coffee either), therefore, I bought my own UDA Certified Organic and had a the LEED Charrette at the site a year ago. Will this comply? I will make one more purchase for a meeting I am having this week at the site for Owner/Tenant Representative, because it has been so long. Seems a little too good to be true.

Michelle, that does take the credit into ground that I haven't heard of projects going before, but at the same time, it's consistent with the barely existent threshold that is well understood with this credit. I don't see an issue.
