Today our guest speaker was Janine Farber, RD. She is one of five dietitians that works for Meijer. The goal of the Meijer Healthy Living program is to increase sales and promote customer loyalty by creating and communicating health solutions and product knowledge to shoppers. Janine does many community events, in store events, media appearances and creates publications. The funding for Janine comes from sponsorship's from different products including Planters, Tropicana, and Dole. The role of the dietitian is to help customers of Meijer make healthier decisions and become more knowledgeable on nutrition and what products they choose. Janine informed us about the Nu Val system, in which I never heard of before. This is a food scoring system that helps consumers see the nutritional value of a product at a glance. I would love to see this system in all stores to help those who do not know how to pick the healthiest choice within a product.
