CANDY & SNACK TRENDS
Snack

How snacks and candy fit into the
better-for-you trend
By Abby White, editor
C
andy and snacks are essential offerings in vending,
micro markets and pantry service. We know how
much people love taking a break during the workday
to enjoy a treat, whether that's something savory or
sweet. But with the increasing popularity of diets such as
keto, gluten-free, plant-based and low-sugar, those who
work in the convenience service industry have to
ensure they're offering a variety of options to meet
their clients' distinct needs.
TRADITION IS KING, BUT CLIENTS STILL WANT
BETTER-FOR-YOU PRODUCTS
Three years ago, the FDA announced the new Nutrition
Facts label for packaged foods that was intended to make
it easier for consumers to make better-informed decisions
about the food they eat. That same year, the FDA also
enforced new rules around vending calorie disclosure,
which required vending machine operators with more
than 20 machines to provide calorie declarations for
items in which the Nutrition Facts label cannot be viewed
before purchasing.
While some operators and suppliers worried that consumers would bypass traditional candy or snack items and
opt for the increasing amount of better-for-you choices
on the market, this hasn't necessarily been the case. Tim
