Coolers and refrigeration units in trucks ensure the fresh food never gets too warm while on the road. In our warehouse, before the food goes to your Seattle, Tacoma, or Puget Sound vending machine or micro-market, it sits in commercial food coolers to stay fresh. We take food safety seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expiration dates verified<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you catch your Seattle, Tacoma, or Puget Sound Vista Vending driver closely examining the food for sale in your break room, he or she is doing a very important job.

Drivers will physically remove an item that has reached its shelf life. Many times the food still looks (and honestly tastes) fine, but we never want any expired food available for sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Donated in the community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering what happens to that food that has expired. Does it go into the trash, filling up the landfill? Not at Vista Vending. We have a unique opportunity. We work with the Magic Works Trust, donating the food that is still good, but at its expiration date. They take it and provide it free to the homeless in the greater Seattle area. It\u2019s food living its best life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, feel free to enjoy food from the vending machine and micro-market. It\u2019s been carefully made and transported. However, if you don\u2019t, that food will serve good in our community.
