You can set a positive example while shopping at Publix by introducing your kids to our Better Choice shelf tags. These tags identify items that, when compared to similar products in the category, have more of the nutrients you need, like fiber, and less of the things you don’t need, like saturated fat, or added sodium, or added sugar. If your kids know what the tags mean, they’ll be in on a secret code that you can use to make selections together! You can even make a game of hunting down Better Choice versions of family favorites.
