rmotion Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I know the FDA Labeling requirements are for operators that own 20 plus machines, but how would you even be able to provide that info and where on the machine would it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually 20+ snack machines and they want you to buy one of those auxiliary screens which display the calories when a specific product is selected. Available from VE, not only are they expensive but you need an Mdb machine to hook the sucker up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmotion Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hmm, are newer machines equipped with that capability. And why is no one talking about this. What is VE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Most snack bags have front of package calorie labeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmotion Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 And that is sufficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yes, front labeling is sufficient. VE is Vendors Exchange but I wouldn't invest in one (called the MIND screen) unless you were forced to by a VERY good account. This kind of overreach by the Feds is a bunch of crap and hasn't, to my knowledge, been enforced anywhere yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 This was part of the ACA (Obamacare) and I doubt that there will be any funding for enforcement under this administration, but it is still the law. 20 or more vending machines food or beverage, not just snack. You don't have to have video. Front of pack if visible is sufficient, or you can post calorie info for each machine in a printed format visible while the customer is choosing products. You should make sure your drink machines have calorie info on the flavor strips (all newer designs do). Lots of the usual Federal red tape and overdeveloped rules and regs.
