Providing Better For You Choices at DG

As part of our mission of Serving Others, we’ve created DG Better For You, a program that’s all about making it easier to find options for eating well. DG Better For You aims to help you take care of yourself and the people you love.

You told us what mattered. We listened. Then we partnered with a registered dietitian, Mary Alice Cain, to guide us in developing this program. As a USDA MyPlate National Strategic Partner, we use authoritative resources including the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Mary Alice provides the nutritional expertise behind our Better For You recipes. She also helps us identify qualifying items for our growing selection of high-quality, low-cost Better For You product offerings. Together, we are focused on continuing to deliver delicious products while also providing more options that are better for you.

 

All The Best Better For You Brands

Our registered dietitian reviewed the nutritional content of items throughout our stores, paying careful attention to the amount of added sugar, sodium and saturated and trans fats in each. DG Better For You makes it easier for our customers who are watching the added sugar, sodium and saturated and trans fats in their diets to find items that meet their needs. From beverages and breakfast to quick meals and snacks, we’re proud to offer you a variety of great items from brands like Kind®, Nature Valley®, Quaker®, Naked® and more right in your neighborhood store.
