The United States Department of Agriculture launched new competitive food rules – “Smart Snacks in Schools” – and to support the program, SmartBox Company provides vending machines with various healthy snacks and beverages, which comply with the set standards.

Children consume around 2/3 of their food intake per day at school. In other words, what children eat at school has potentially more effects on their health than what they eat at home. Schools have a key responsibility of creating a culture of wellness and SmartBox Company is here to make that hassle-free and seamless.

SmartBox Company will work with you directly to determine the healthy vending needs of your school. We will help you develop good solutions for your district or school. SmartBox Company takes care of customized product mixes, USDA compliance under Smart Snacks in School rules, on-machine digital nutrition content and whole program management.

We've provided this infographic below to show the differences in standards, and assure you that SmartBox Company meets and exceeds them. Get in touch with us today to schedule a demo!
