It’s time to climb out of our shell.
After more than 2 long years of living through the pandemic we now must deal with what I refer to as the “turtle effect”. When turtles feel threatened, they climb into their shell to hide from their surroundings. This provides them with a feeling of security and safety.

According to Vending Market Watch, 24% more employees returned to the office in Q2 2022 compared to Q1. This trend is taking place around the world, as employers are requesting that employees work in a hybrid model or go back to working full time from the office. After two years of many workers working from home, companies have to rebuild their company culture to help employees readjust to working from the office. This creates an interesting opportunity for unattended retail merchants.

What’s one thing almost all our vending products have in common? A food label. Most products contain both nutrition fact tables and an ingredient list so that consumers can make an informed decision about the food they are eating. You may have already noticed a change to food labels, but if you haven’t, you will by December; Health Canada has announced that starting December 15, 2022, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will start to enforce a new nutrition fact table and ingredient list.
