Giant Food gives customers Healthy Ideas

LANDOVER, Md. — Giant Food is helping customers stick to their New Year resolutions by emphasizing its product labeling system.

Healthy Ideas, which initially launched in January 2009, identifies healthy options for customers as they shop the aisles, and includes both perishable and nonperishable items, as well as private-label and national brands.

"Losing weight and eating better regularly rank as among the most common New Year's resolutions," said Andrea Astrachan, consumer adviser for Giant Food. "There is no better place to make healthy choices than at the supermarket and Giant is committed to helping our customers stay on track with their healthy eating goals throughout the year."
