Wegmans Food You Feel Good About

Wegmans Food You Feel Good About

We launched Food You Feel Good About in 1991 with a commitment of great taste with no unnecessary artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Since 2014, we have improved over 2,000 Wegmans items to meet our Food You Feel Good About standards, and today, nearly 90% of all Wegmans brand items are Food You Feel Good About with new items coming every day.

Food You Feel Good About means:

  • Great taste
  • No unnecessary artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
  • Free of trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils
  • No high fructose corn syrup
  • No artificial sweeteners

Ingredients not added to Food You Feel Good About products

Since 1991 we’ve been removing “artificials” from our ingredient lists, especially certain colors, flavors, preservatives and sweeteners.  We’ve listened to customers along the way to also remove all partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup.  Every ingredient decision involves study and debate by our labeling staff, nutritionists, product developers and merchants.  Certified organic items always meet Food You Feel Good About ingredient criteria.

Good to know:

  • We allow ingredients that are found in nature but produced using synthetic processes where necessary to keep the prices of our products reasonable for our customers. Examples: citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherols (vitamin E) and enzymes.
  • We allow ingredients that are pantry staples, even though they may be highly processed like baking powder, corn syrup and cane sugar.
  • Although nitrates and sulfites are not directly added, they may be naturally occurring in other ingredients such as celery (nitrates) and grapes (sulfites).
  • If concerned about agricultural practices, incidental additives or processing aids, know that certified organic products provide a greater level of ingredient scrutiny.
