NOURISHMENT
31 MARCH 2021
The WELL Nourishment concept aims to encourage better eating habits and food culture, and supports the creation of food environments where the healthiest choice is the easiest choice with nutritional transparency.
HEALTHY EATING
Nutrition and health are closely related. The way our food environment is designed and operated as well as the availability and access to foods and beverages in this environment plays a role in supporting healthy choices and promoting healthy eating behaviours. At 500 Collins we have provided a healthy vending machine by Vendy, which provides a range of nutritious and delicious products that are low in sugar and artificial ingredients including fruit and vegetable products. This can be found in the end of trip facilities located in the basement. Nutritional information for the vending machine items can be found in this Nutritional Info & Product Guide.
