Podcast Summary

COVID-19 related issues were front in center this week, as the FDA announced it is relaxing calorie disclosure requirements for vending machines.

This week Vending Times published part 2 of its series on how self-service technology is playing a role in preventing COVID-19 exposure. Where part 1 addressed self-service machines designed to dispense safety products, part 2 this week explores how temperature detection in conjunction with biometric identity verification is expanding. Technology companies are coming out of the woodwork to provide these solutions as businesses, schools, entertainment venues and institutions are anxious to deploy them.
