I have done a search on the Brand Name Food List and a number of products called ‘generic NR’ are listed. What are these and what is their purpose?
On the Brand Name Food List you will find a list of ‘generic’ Not Recommended (NR) food and beverages. These items have been entered as sample Not Recommended (NR) items for people creating scorecards for a vending machine that includes “Not Recommended” foods they can not find in the Brand Name Food List. The administrator of the Brand Name Food List gives priority to adding ‘Choose Most’ and ‘Choose Sometimes’ foods items and therefore many ‘Not Recommended’ items in the market place have not been added to the Brand Name Food List database. To allow users to complete a scorecard for their vending machine that may include “Not Recommended’ foods and beverages that are not included in the Brand Name Food List database we have created a number of ‘generic’ ‘Not Recommended’ foods and beverages such as a generic a chocolate bar or sports drink. These items are almost always “Not Recommended”.
