Food shelves could be healthier, and UMN researchers are trying to help

Author: Natalie Cierzan

By the end of next year, the SuperShelf partnership hopes to have transformed a total of 30 to 40 food shelves.
A University of Minnesota partnership is transforming food shelves across the state, looking to fill them with healthier options.
University research has shown that food shelves do not always make healthy choices easy. Hoping for change, the SuperShelf initiative is working to change what food is offered, improve food shelf designs and ensure funding is spent on food that clients want.
