Abstract

Drawing on research from the Centre for Exercise, Nutrition & Health Sciences, this briefing highlights that foods and drinks sold in vending machines contribute to a hostile environment for healthy eating, by making obesogenic foods readily available. Our evidence can be used to support leisure operators, schools, worksite catering procurement managers, food vendors, Local Government Associations and Wellbeing Boards to improve the balance of products provided in vending machines (e.g. in leisure venues, hospitals and workplaces), as a way to tackle obesity.
