South Bay has become among the first senior living communities in the United States to earn the Seed Oil Free Certified™ Cooking Oil designation from the Seed Oil Free Alliance.
In doing so, South Bay, and Shem Creek Health Center at South Bay reimagined wellness-focused dining by eliminating industrial seed oils such as soybean, canola, corn, and sunflower oil from its kitchens.
The culinary team now prepares house-made alternatives using certified oils, including olive oil-based dressings, vinaigrettes, and beef tallow mayonnaise. These not only produce enhanced flavor but also healthier options.
South Bay’s dining philosophy is centered on from-scratch cooking, organic and locally sourced ingredients, and wholesome alternatives. We are deeply committed to ensuring that all meals are delicious and aligned with the community’s culture of promoting holistic wellness, supporting healthier aging without compromise.
