Are there any food safety policies and regulations pertaining to a vending machine company?  The company I work for deals with a very large amount of vending machines and also has a handful of avanti markets.  I am unable to find anything under the USDA and can only find the labeling rule under FDA. 

 

Would vending fall under all the same rules as a food distributer to convenience stores?  Would it make since if I just considered a vending machine to be a convenience store? 

 

It would be helpful if FDA had laws specifically for vending companies.

I would look at a state level and see what they require. What state are you in?

Maine.  I did look into it and they only explain things about the machine.  So i am assuming that we need to follow all food safety laws as it would pertain to a final packaging convenience store distributer.

 You're welcome. Ya, seems like Maine is fairly vague on it. I read California's just out of curiosity..... Wow. Don't move there!
