polecat Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 In case anyone is interested, the following article further supports the trend (and consumer demand) to and for more healthy options from the confection industry. This obviously pertains to the same product being purchased through vending machines. http://foodproductiondaily.com/news/ng.asp?id=82329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Great article Steve. I must agree that a good percentage of my locations do request a healthy or sugar free alternative. Mostly those that are work type locations where the dominant buyers are employee's of the location. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 You're right, Steve. In fact, in an effort to curb the rising cost of insurance, many companies have or are implementing employee 'Health and Wellness' programs which create an incentive for employees to improve their health. As sugar free gum is the #1 dietary aide in the US (in addition to reducing stress and anxiety) this product fit's into this program perfectly. Aramark, in fact, is currently testing DI in many of their food service and corp. break room locations with a high level of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
