Ever wondered what all those colored shelf tags at Publix mean...

Do you ever see the Brown shelf tags at Publix and wonder why they are a different color?  Are they being discontinued?  Are they a temporary product? 

The answer is that they meet the Publix definition for "All Natural"  Publix has made a concerted effort to label any foods that are organic, have organic ingredients, and/or are all natural.  heir explanation of each tag is here.

Publix has also done a really good job of using nutrition labels for many foods.  They have set up green tags with labels such as "low calorie", "low fat", "low sodium", etc.  These terms are regulated by the food and Drug Administration so rest assured that if it says it it must abide by it.  Publix has listed all the definitions that they use here.

I applaud Publix for making a concerted effort to educate its customers on the nutritional content of there foods.  They even have suggested shopping lists for Low Sodium, Gluten Free, 100 Calorie or less, and Kosher Diets

Visit the Publix nutrition website for many more great tips and tricks on shopping healthier.
