Family Fare offers 'Healthy Shopping'

People who want to make healthy food choices in the grocery store are typically faced wiih a bewildering assortment of products and product claims. But now, thanks to the new M-Fit Labeling program recently introduced by Family Fare, healthy grocery shopping is simple. The new M-Fit Shelf Labeling Program is a joint effort between Family Fare, Spartan Stores, Inc. and the Med Sport Preventive Cardiology Clinic of the University of Michigan Medical Center. Dietitians at the Med Sport Clinic have researched over 8.000 food products, and have identified the healthiest items that are higher in dietary fiber, and lower in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. These recommended products have been divided into two groups for shoppers-products that are the Best Choice for healthy eating; and products that are an Acceptable Choice for healthy eating. Best Choice products arc marked on Family Fare’s shelves with special green shelf labels, while Acceptable Choice products arc marked with yellow shelf labels. The program also offers shoppers more information about healthy shopping in an easy-to-rcad reference book titled “The Grocery Shopping Guide.” The book features an analysis of brand name products grouped by category, and uses the same green and yellow color identification system used by Family Fare to identify products that are the Best Campus notes Honored at MC A total of 92 students have been named to the dean’s list at Manchester College, North Manchester.
