GOODMAN VENDING SERVICE WAS
THE FIRST VENDING COMPANY
TO JOIN HEART SMART INTERNATIONAL.
Other vending companies advertise being among the first to join Heart Smart, but our cutting edge attitude prompted Tony Buckholz, President and CEO, to contact Heart Smart and inquire about a program for vending.
Due in part to his initiative, The Heart Smart International Red Heart Food Vending Program was born which currently analyzes vending menu items for nutritional content.
Menu selections identified with the Red Heart  symbol have been analyzed for:
- % of calories from total fat
- % of calories from saturated fat
- sodium and cholesterol
Approval must be given by Heart Smart International before the Red Heart emblem is displayed.
| OUR CUTTING EDGE ATTITUDE IS NEVER ENDING
|
We are currently involved in a "Carb Conscious" initiative
for vending.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT'S THE NEXT HEALTH FOOD CRAZE?
COULD IT BE PROBIOTICS?
|
Probiotics are strains of bacteria that promote better digestion, stronger immune systems and better general health. In 2003, fifteen new foods were introduced that were described as containing probiotics. This is up by 50% from the previous year and 300% from 2001. Dannon is now selling a new yogurt which contains 10 times more beneficial bacteria than the current yogurt. European and Japanese companies have been fortifying cookies and candy for the past 10 years. Japan has been wild about the probiotic idea since the 1960's. Now you can buy little vials of the bacteria right out of the dairy case.
