Feedback:
There are some convenience items with a positive impact on nutrition. They can include washed spinach, prewashed and cut vegetables, bagged salad mixes, frozen vegetables, fresh sushi, whole-grain rolls from the bakery section, prepared hummus, and fully cooked roasted chickens. It is important to read the labels, as sauces and pizza can have hidden fats and sugars which would decrease their nutritional value.
