There's a similar one from some American health association, also.  That
shows up primarily on the national branded products.

That sounds a little more like Wegmans, although the FYFGA line really
does try to be healthy all around...  no excessive sugars OR fats, no
artificial stuff, just good food without extra junk.  One of Danny
Wegmans' daughters really got into the healthy food, and had an
influence even before she became part of the management of the company
herself.  It's just a store branding, doesn't carry into the national
brands... but then Wegmans storebrand products tend to be close to, the
same as, or even better than national brands usually...  :)

... Tip: use real ingredients... Butter, Sugar, Salt.
