Healthy cafeteria guidelines help employers make the healthy choice the easy choice in a workplace cafeteria, cafe or vending area. They are often part of a worksite wellness program.
Alere

A public set of guidelines
The CDC links to the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities. The guidelines cover cafeterias, cafes, snack bars, micro markets and vending machines. They set standards for food and nutrition, food safety and the layout that guides food choices. The CDC says public and private workplaces can also use them.
Employers can check their wellness programs with the CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard. See more tools under worksite wellness and in the wellness resources list.
