Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines throughout Sacramento’s downtown Capitol corridor where over 90,000 state government employees work, in midtown near Golden 1 Center and the Sacramento Convention Center, or at UC Davis Medical Center and other major healthcare employers across the region, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making nutritional choices immediately visible to Sacramento’s workforce—from legislative staff and administrative professionals in the Capitol complex to medical professionals, hospital workers, and hospitality staff who frequent the city’s renowned farm-to-fork restaurants and farmers markets during their breaks. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines, including the most popular adult criteria—the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar)—which resonates particularly well in Sacramento’s agriculture-influenced culture where locally sourced, wellness-oriented eating aligns with the region’s identity as a leader in sustainable food systems and farm-to-table dining. Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling Sacramento offices—whether in Natomas business parks serving technology and logistics companies, Arden-Arcade corporate centers, or construction and distribution facilities throughout East Sacramento and beyond—to implement the same program seamlessly across multiple locations.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Sacramento’s diverse population of government workers, healthcare professionals, students, and convention visitors to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.
