The Northeast Regional Healthy Foods Marketplace

Crowne Plaza, Warwick
This event brings vendors of healthy foods together with buyers seeking those products. All single-serve products exhibited during this free tradeshow meet the RI Healthy School Snacks and Beverages Law. Meal items will be approved for the show using nutrition criteria that is based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This year, once again, Kids First RI is reaching out and inviting food buyers from colleges and universities, worksites, childcare, hospitals and other care facilities, as well as local distributors to join school foodservice buyers in taste-testing and collecting samples to bring back to your clients. Wellness Committee members are also welcome to come so you can influence healthier buying decisions in your school, business or community.
