This month CAVC members flew to Chicago for NAMA One Show, the time of year where vendors from around the country unite to learn about the latest trends and laws affecting our industry.
This year, as members from all state councils met the conversation centered on three letters: FOP (Front of Package).
Effective December 1st of this year all product sold in any vending machine needs to have full calorie disclosure listed at the point of purchase (this includes coffee) and affects all vendors with more than 20 machines in the field.
Stay tuned to find out specific regulations and for ideas on how to post calories in real time for the consumer (many of the items you sell are already making the changes on their packaging).
