Consequences of &quot;Not to be sold separately&quot;
<p>The company I work for (40,000 employees) has vending machines throughout the buildings which are filled by the internal catering team.</p>

<p>Now I have noticed many of the separately packaged foodstuffs in the machines clearly have notes on them indication they are not to be sold separately.</p>

<p>Before I approach anyone about it, I wanted some advice:</p>

<ol>
<li>Are these notes legally enforceable?</li>
<li>What are the normal consequences for breaking these rules?</li>
</ol>

<p>Typically, these notices are required where the individual packaging lacks the statutory nutritional and warning labels. If this is the reason for the prohibition, selling them separately is a breach of public health law. It may also be a breach of contract with the vendor of the collective pack.</p>

<p>Breaking them up and placing them in vending machines, even if those are not accessible to the public is probably unlawful.</p>
