Real Choice & Eagle Vending
Eagle Vending has registered with HET to operate Real Choice vending
for schools. Registration requires that the vending operator will
only supply or recommend Real Choice approved products for use within
their school vending machines. Machines should carry the Real Choice
logo to reassure schools, Governors, parents and students that their
vending machines offer a suitably healthy range of drinks and snacks.
Should schools wish to continue to supply any of their existing
products, these can be checked by HET for suitability under the
Real Choice scheme via Eagle Vending, to ensure that it meets the
new standards. Alternatively schools may contact HET direct to discuss
options and any queries they may have regarding the scheme.
Vending selections should be changed regularly to maintain a fresh
choice for users, so any new products should be checked with HET
before including within Real Choice vending machines.
HET contact: Mrs Kathryn Styles, HET Nutritionist: kathryn@healthedtrust.com
More information on school vending including results of the pilot
studies and details of the Real Choice scheme is available at :
