Simplify Your Grocery Shopping

At the grocery store, as you're comparing two foods that seem identical, do you often wonder which is really healthier; but don't have the time or desire to review the food labels? If you shop at Hy-Vee, then they've done the work for you!

The NuVal system scores foods from 1-100 points. Each food is given one score, saving you the time and headache of having to make comparisons. It’s easy, the higher the score, the more nutritional the food. The score is a summary of the health value of carbs, fat, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

A large number of foods have the NuVal score, and Hy-Vee is working on getting more foods scored and labeled to help you make smarter shopping choices. Just look for the number next to the price tag that’s affixed to the shelf. Simple, healthy shopping, hooray!
