Please note: Our new nutritional tagging system is currently available in our Columbus, Ohio and Frederick, Maryland stores.

Color-coded blocks identify lifestyle and nutritional benefits.

The second component of our new tags is a set of color-coded blocks that identifies key lifestyle and dietary information. You'll find these blocks at the bottom of our shelf tags, beneath the price and NuVal™ number, on nonperishable items only.

These blocks were created by an independent team of nutritionists to serve as a simple, effective labeling system consistent with FDA dietary guidelines.

Think of an item's NuVal™ Score as a grade and these blocks as a teacher's comments that explain it. They can also be used to direct you to foods that fulfill specific dietary needs, such as gluten free or low cholesterol.

Color-coded blocks contain lifestyle and specific dietary information based on FDA guidelines.
