Michigan is different than Georgia, and I am familiar with GA. The health department is only interested in the portion of the building that is handling and preparing fresh food. The drinks and snack baskets aren't handled significantly differently than any general-purpose item.
Ice would be the only thing I can think of that could be an issue if it's made on site.
