Balance Lives™

helps you
eat for health, so you can

live your life!

 

Balance Lives™ was developed to help you and your family, easily identify healthful foods while you shop! Each shelf tag provides different colors and calorie information. We’ve translated good science into colors.

 

Every product that carries a nutrient tag with a color or calorie number, has met minimum nutrition standards. Since Gluten Free and Organic relate to ingredient and processing of foods, not nutrition, they may or may not meet these nutrient standards but they do follow Food & Drug Administration guidance & Organic standards.
