Healthy Vending in Schools
The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture is implementing a healthy vending program into
various schools throughout the state. These vending machines
will contain our packaged apple slices as well as other healthy
snacks and juices that are a part of the PA
Preferred program. Bloomsburg High School was the first
school to receive a vending machine in this healthy initiative.
There are plans to implement this program into other schools in
the state.
Fresh Apple Slices a Great Fit
for Corporate Wellness Programs
With
the nation focusing on healthy lifestyles, many individuals are taking
the extra steps to become more health conscious. This focus has also
been implemented in the corporate world. More and more companies are
offering wellness programs to their employees. While boosting morale,
lowering stress and managing weight, these programs could also lower
healthcare costs, decrease employee absence, and improve the overall
work environment. Our fresh packaged apple slices are a healthy snack
to introduce to your employees. It’s a convenient snack for those
on-the-go-executives or perfect to put in a lunch. Local companies
have already successfully incorporated our apples into their wellness
programs. Contact us if your company is interested in offering this
sweet, convenient, healthy snack in your wellness program. Remember,
an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Produce for Better Health Foundation
Fruits and
Veggies: More Matters ™ is your guide to the health
benefits of colorful fruits and vegetables. The USDA Food Guide
Pyramid recommends 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every
day. Appeeling Fruit’s 2 oz. serving of fresh red skin apple slices
enriched with Vitamin C provides one of those servings in the red
color zone.
The Produce for
Better Health Foundation (pbh ™) has developed a National
Action Plan to close the gap between actual and recommended fruit
and vegetable consumption in our country. So many colorful,
healthy fruits and vegetables are grown in the United States and are
available year round. Enjoy our apple slices as part of your
daily snacking.
