Think Vending, Think Californian Raisins
Published:  01 September, 2007

There are currently over 500,000 refreshment vending machines in use in the UK, with consumers spending as much as £1.5 billion annually. One of the biggest users of vending machines are secondary schools, with 57% concentration.

Traditionally stocked with high convenience, low health foods, vending machines have come under pressure from the government to replace these foods with healthy snacks. In September 2007, the new food based standards for school lunches will also apply to vending, however the Government expects these to be in operation sooner.

Without a doubt it is due to the health qualities and snack size packaging that make California Raisins the ideal product to meet the new regulations.

California Raisins are packed with all the essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need, such as Vitamins A, B, C and minerals copper, fibre and iron to name but a few.

In addition, California Raisins can help you maintain your energy levels throughout the day due to the natural sugars that provide a slow energy release.

Just one tablespoon of California Raisins is the equivalent of one of the government’s recommended 5-a-day.

California Raisins can be offered within chilled or ambient vending.
