Policy & Advocacy
Join Joel Kimmons, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as he describes trends in nutrition science and presents the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities. The Guidelines provide specific standards for food, nutrition, facility efficiency, environmental support, community development, food safety, and behavioral design for use in food service concession and vending operations at federal facilities and other venues. Understanding these guidelines is important for convenience services operators as they navigate nutrition standards being placed upon the sale of food and beverage through the vending and micro markets channels. This session will provide the education needed to stay ahead of competitors as well as changes in consumer eating, drinking and snacking trends.
