We are committed to encouraging children to live a healthier lifestyle. In partnership with your school we will achieve this by providing informative advice, by limiting temptation and encouraging children to choose the healthier option.
What is Healthy Vending? There have been calls from certain quarters to remove all vending machines from all Schools. However, vending machines provide useful revenue for Schools, and also vending helps to keep the children within the school grounds. Therefore the obvious conclusion is that vending machines are not the problem, it is that certain products and their ingredients may contribute towards the obesity problem, either because they are too high in fat or sugar or contain too much salt..
H-box has been developed since October 2003, sourcing healthier alternatives, engaging in product testing with School children, and also working very closely with the Healthy Schools Programme. All products have been assessed and approved by the NHS Dietician working with the Healthy Schools Programme.
ALL contents of the H-box are low in fat, sugar and salt, in accordance to the criteria set by the Healthy Schools Programme.
The machine has been on test in several locations, including Health & Leisure Centres. The Fresh Food Vendor is now available and has proved very popular, not only with the pupils, but with Teachers and Parents alike.
Due to the very high sales through the snack machines, we have now developed and tested the H-box drinks machine. The H-box drinks machine dispenses bottled water, fruit juices and flavoured milk.
Vending can provide healthy alternatives and also a healthy profit stream. So now you have a choice...
