The importance of creating healthier work environments by providing healthy foods and beverages in worksite cafeterias, in on-site vending machines, and at meetings and conferences is drawing increasing attention. Large employers, federal and state governments, and hospital systems are significant purchasers and providers of food and beverages. The American Heart Association, federal government, and other organizations have created procurement standards to guide healthy purchasing by these entities. There is a need to review how procurement standards are currently implemented, to identify important minimum criteria for evaluating health and purchasing outcomes, and to recognize significant barriers and challenges to implementation, along with success stories. The purpose of this policy paper is to describe the role of food-and-beverage environment and procurement policy standards in creating healthier worksite environments; to review recently created national model standards; to identify elements across the standards that are important to consider for incorporation into policies; and to delineate issues to address as standards are implemented across the country.
通过在工作场所的自助餐厅、现场自动售货机以及会议和大会上提供健康食品和饮料来营造更健康的工作环境的重要性正日益受到关注。大型雇主、联邦和州政府以及医院系统是食品和饮料的重要购买者和供应者。美国心脏协会、联邦政府和其他组织制定了采购标准，以指导这些实体的健康采购。有必要审查目前采购标准的实施情况，确定评估健康和采购结果的重要最低标准，并认识到实施过程中的重大障碍和挑战，以及成功案例。本政策文件的目的是描述食品和饮料环境以及采购政策标准在营造更健康的工作场所环境中的作用；审查最近制定的国家示范标准；确定标准中对于纳入政策需要考虑的重要因素；并说明在全国范围内实施标准时需要解决的问题。
