No more pink cakes for grabs: blood bank Sanquin tightens snack policy

Sanquin has tightened its snack policy for blood donors, requiring them to ask volunteers for treats instead of taking them freely. This change comes after reports of donors and non-donors taking excessive amounts of snacks, leading to significant losses for the organization. While some locations still allow self-service, others have adopted the new rules to prevent misuse. Sanquin acknowledges the issue but does not have specific data on the extent of the problem. The organization aims to ensure donors feel welcome despite the new restrictions.
