Making Beverage Machines Healthier        (Rollover to find out more) Are You Pouring On The Pounds?
Most of us consume too much sugar; the NYC Health Department's Pouring on the Pounds campaign highlights the health risks of sugar-sweetened beverages in a compelling way. Keep Healthy Beverages at Eye-Level
It's best to keep the healthy options like water at eye-level in vending machines as that encourages healthier choices. Keep all sugary sweet beverages at the bottom of the vending machine. The Purchasing Department is Key
In order to start making your vending machine healthier it's important to consult and start with your purchasing department to gain their support and cooperation as they handle the vendor contracts. Take a Survey
Provide an employee survey to find out what your visitors, customers and employees would like to see in vending machines. Based on our results, they want healthier choices! Provide An Alternative
Make sure that water is readily available, especially at meetings. Filtered water stations provide a free alternative for visitors, employees and customers and should be made available with large cups. Price Bottled Water Lower than Other Beverages
Encourage vending machine operators to price bottled water lower than sugary beverages. People Want Unsweetened Iced Tea in Vending Machines
One county's employee survey results show people overwhelmingly want healthy products such as unsweetened iced tea, G2 low calorie Gatorade, Vitamin Water Zero, and other low-cal beverages. Seltzer Sells!
The fizzy quality of seltzer makes it appealing! Seltzer is commonly requested by employees and has been reported to sell very well in vending machines, especially health department buildings. A Healthy Beverage: Fat Free Milk
Fat free milk provides a healthy alternative to sugary drinks in workplace vending machines. It has protein, calcium and vitamins without the saturated fat in whole milk.
