One of the biggest complaints from schools when addressing healthier options in vending machines is that healthy eating costs a lot more. Most states do not require a school cafeteria operated vending machine to adhere to the same labeling laws as an outside vending contractor or have to label all of the items on your cafeteria ala carte. Many schools are putting fresh baked, wellness compliant cookies into a zip lock bag and selling them through their vending machines. At a 50 percent vending price the school can still make 60 percent profit but that price would have to be 85 cents if it were a prepackaged cookie from a supplier. See, there is an affordable way to offer students healthier options!
Another great example, in Westford Academy in Massachusetts, they put nachos in a clear clamshell package with a cheese pack and a salsa pack. They move several of these packages a day at a reasonable price price and more than a reasonable profit. Richford Jr. Sr. High School in Vermont puts baby carrots into a zip lock bag with a Ranch squeeze package and sells several every day from their school vending machine.
