Food Vending Machines
What is a food vending machine?
A “food vending machine” is a machine from which there is an automated sale of food without any attention or intervention by the seller at the time of sale.
Usually money is paid into the machine. These machines are often located in public places.
A “self serve” machine (such as for making coffee) located in a food business such as a convenience store where the customer pays an attendant of the business is not a food vending machine.
(In that case, the sale is made when the money is paid to the attendant. The sale is by the business operating the convenience store. The whole store – rather than the machine – will be registered or notified under the Food Act).
