Brittany Peterson, a registered dietitian from the Village Supermarket, Inc. and currently employed in the Shop Rite of Chester will present the evening’s program:  “Understanding the
Nutrition Facts Label.”
She will include the FDA nutrition facts label and other label claims on packaged goods to help members interpret food labels to make smarter shopping choices.  Members will also be invited to attend a supermarket tour to identify some “hidden gems” and “superfoods.”
