Jewel-Osco to start labeling healthy foods -- chicagotribune.com


Supervalu Inc., parent company of Jewel-Osco, the Chicago area's largest grocery chain, on Wednesday unveiled a labeling system aimed at giving shoppers a simpler way to decipher nutrition levels in food.

The tags are aimed at helping shoppers identify healthier options, and are expected to ultimately cover about 10 percent of the items in a store.

Glad to see that something is finally being done about the lack of nutrition in this country.

Do you think the prices will go up on these items as they do with organic foods? Seems everything good for you costs too much. Take Pure Cane Sugar Dr. Pepper for example. This is alot better for you than regular Dr. Pepper and to get it in our area we have to buy the glass bottles at over $1 each. I have to pay almost $7 for a six pack when I can buy 24 regular canned Dr. Peppers for $5.
