Has your blood pressure been creeping up? You’re not alone. But unless something changes, you’re more likely to develop the full-blown medical condition of high blood pressure, also called hypertension.

A healthy lifestyle is the first critical step in preventing or treating elevated blood pressure. Along with routine blood pressure checks at your doctor’s office, you can stop by our pharmacy and get your reading from one of the nearby blood pressure machines.

Lactose is a type of sugar naturally found in all mammals’ milk, including cows, goats, sheep, and buffalo. Unfortunately, you won’t see “lactose” listed as part of the Nutrition Facts panel or the Ingredient statement. In addition, a “non-dairy” claim is not a guarantee that the product is lactose free. Therefore, you will need to become familiar with potential sources of lactose and look for these foods/ingredients in the Ingredient list. Examples include milk (and all foods derived from milk such as cheese and yogurt), whey, curds, dry milk solids and nonfat dry milk powder.

Our “Lactose-Free” Wellness Key on Wegmans Brand products and recipes will help you find products made without lactose.

Keep in mind that lactose intolerance is often not an “all or nothing” issue. Just because a large glass of milk on an empty stomach causes symptoms doesn’t mean that smaller amounts will be a problem. Work with your doctor or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to find what types and amounts of lactose-containing foods are right for you.

More and more people are living with food allergies. Our Nature’s Marketplace or Health & Wellness departments offer a variety of products specifically formulated to meet the needs of customers with food allergies. Ingredients and product formulations can change, so we encourage our customers to always read the labels of products to ensure that an allergen has not been added or removed since their last purchase.

The most common food allergens in the U.S.—the “top 9″—cause 90% of all severe food allergies. The top 9 allergens include:

The FDA requires that the top 9 be listed in plain language on the package when present in a food. Many Wegmans Brand products also highlight the allergen statement with our Allergen Wellness Key making it easy to spot products that have a top 9 allergen.

In compliance with the FASTER Act of 2021, all Wegmans Brand products produced on or after January 1, 2023 will contain a declaration of sesame in the ALLERGEN statement. Please keep in mind… there may be some products on shelf that were produced prior to this date and have sesame in the ingredient statement, but not in the ALLERGEN statement. Keeping your safety in mind, we have worked with our suppliers to transition our packaging as seamlessly as possible with this deadline, and recommend during this final transitionary stage you continue to read both the ingredient and ALLERGEN statements to identify sesame and sesame-containing ingredients.
