County Food Policy – Updates 2009
On August 18, 2009 the Board of Supervisors
unanimously approved to update the Los Angeles County
Food Policy, which provides LA County employees with a
work environment that is supportive of healthy eating.
100% of all choices in County vending machines will now
comply with the food policy guidelines. The food policy
campaign, Smart Snackers, puts the policy into action by
providing educational materials that encourage employees
to choose the new, healthier snacks in the workplace.

Why is the County telling me what to eat? Smart

still be able to bring your favorite snack to work as
you have always done. But, you’ll also have the option
to choose a healthier snack.
