As of this summer, ice cream has been discontinued as a vending option for all Boulder Parks and Recreation facilities.
That's because the ice cream bars previously being sold have larger portion sizes and higher sugar and fat content than is allowed under the city's latest guidelines. Today's Boulder-sanctioned snacks must satisfy a series of nutritional standards, which govern not only ice cream and sandwich-based ice cream variants, but apply also to everything from nuts, chips, packaged fruits, cereal, cookies and pudding.
