Traditional vending machines in schools are mostly stocked with unhealthy snacks and drinks, with 75% of drinks and 85% of snacks being unhealthful. While vending machines provide convenience and revenue for schools, they also discourage healthy eating habits. Replacing traditional machines with healthy vending options that offer water, juice, milk and nutritious snacks can provide the same conveniences while supporting students' wellness. Healthy vending machines have been successfully implemented in schools in Maine and Minneapolis without losing money for schools and helping to establish lifelong healthy eating patterns.
Food poisoning is caused by eating food contaminated with harmful bacteria. While it is difficult to know if food will cause illness, following food safety practices like checking expiration dates can help minimize risk.

Sabrina had a severe allergic reaction after eating fries that had come into contact with cheese through shared cooking tongs, an example of cross contact transferring an allergen. The training module discussed identifying major food allergens, preventing cross contact between allergen-containing and allergen-free foods, communicating accurately with customers about allergens, and being prepared for emergencies by recognizing symptoms and contacting emergency services. Managing allergen risks requires proper storage, handling, cleaning, and communication between staff.
Food allergies are abnormal immune responses to certain proteins in foods. The prevalence of food allergies among children has increased in recent decades. Reactions can range from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis, which is treated with epinephrine. While schools are responsible for accommodating students with food allergies, families also have responsibilities like providing medical documentation and medications. Complete avoidance of allergenic foods is currently the only way to prevent reactions.
Food allergies can range from merely irritating to life threatening. Approximately 30,000 Americans go to the emergency room each year to get treated for severe food allergies, according to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). It is estimated that 150 to 200 Americans die each year because of allergic reactions to food.

Hubert Customer Spotlight: Ball State UniversityHubert Company
Hubert was contacted by Ball State University to assist in renovating Woodworth Commons Dining Hall.
Our task was to source and/or design updated smallwares, signage and décor to coordinate with the new interior finishes and nine different dining themes, staying within budget and on schedule.
Communication, landscaping, texture, color, and décor are the five elements of successful visual merchandising. Communication involves clearly identifying products with descriptions and prices. Landscaping displays food at varying heights for easy scanning. Texture adds subtle visual interest through contrasts. Color grabs attention by repeating throughout displays. Décor finishes the theme and enhances the customer experience with props.
This document discusses elements of visual merchandising for promoting healthier food choices. It covers topics like using color, texture, landscaping and décor to attract customers. Signage and proper labeling are also emphasized as important communication tools to provide information on nutritional programs and special offerings. The overall message is that visual merchandising strategies can encourage customers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables by making these options visually appealing and easy to identify.
This guide provides steps for creating a grab-and-go section, including adding baskets to hold items, filling the baskets with grab-and-go food items, and decorating the area with signs to promote the new section.
