Private Brand Products

Who manufactures your private-label products, and how do you keep the prices lower than national brand?
At Hannaford, our goal is to provide our customers with high-quality products at consistently low prices. We work with many different suppliers to produce products that meet rigid standards for our private label brands. We do continuous and rigorous quality testing to ensure our products remain equal to or better in quality than the leading national brands. When compared to national-brand items, you will find little or no difference in the ingredients, and what variation there might be will not negatively impact quality or taste.

The companies that develop the national brands invest money in advertising and research to develop their products. These costs ultimately get passed on to consumers. Because our private-label products do not have the research and advertising overhead, we can sell the products for less.

We are extremely proud of our multi-faceted portfolio of high-quality private-brand products. In fact, we are so confident in the quality of these products, we have applied our Double Your Money Back quality guarantee to all items. We encourage you to look for these brands in-store:

Hannaford Brand
Products that are equal to or better in quality than the leading national brands for a lot less.

Nature’s Place
High-quality, certified-organic and natural products at affordable prices.

Taste of Inspirations
Delicious, premium foods with quality you’d expect to find only at the best specialty-food stores.

Home 360
Grocery products that are equal to or better in quality than the leading national brands.

Smart Option:
These are good products at unbeatable prices.

Product Availability

What if I can’t find a product I enjoy at Hannaford?
There are a number of options.

• Through our online Special Order service on hannaford.com, we offer thousands of hard-to-find food and specialty items for your convenience. Simply order online and the items will be shipped right to your home.
• Call the Hannaford Information Center at (800) 213-9040, or click here to send the Information Center a message.
• We like to hear from you. Our comment cards available at the registers are carefully reviewed by our merchandisers for product suggestions.

Unfortunately, store space is limited, and so we are unable to honor all customer requests to add new products to the store shelves. There are many factors that influence the decision to carry a product in our stores. Product availability, sales history, and other factors are considered as our merchandisers work to continuously offer the right product mix to fulfill the needs of the communities we serve. Consumer response to new and discontinued items also influences those decisions

If I am not satisfied with a product I purchased at a Hannaford store, can I return it?
Absolutely! We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that we are offering high-quality products in our stores. Your feedback is valuable. Any time that you are not satisfied with a product purchased at a Hannaford store, bring the item back to the store for a full refund or replacement product. Our merchandising departments, Quality Assurance team, and the suppliers monitor the information we gather through the refund process to ensure that quality standards are met.

Our Double Your Money Back quality guarantee applies to all private-label items throughout our stores: Hannaford brand, Nature’s Place, Taste of Inspirations, Smart Options, and Home 360. We also offer the double-money-back guarantee on loose/unpackaged items (e.g., baked goods offered in the bakery case, unpackaged fruits & vegetables, salad bar, etc.).

Can you assist me with choosing products that do not contain gluten?

• You can browse our products online to see the Guiding Stars rating for each item, and select nutrition preferences or screen out food allergens like gluten as you customize a shopping list to meet your needs. This should be used as a guide, since manufacturer’s product formulations may change without notice to us.
• We encourage you to click here to view a page on our site designed to help you identify which types of foods may contain gluten.
• Our Nutritionists offer gluten-free store tours. Check your store for availability.

Food Storage/Food Safety

What’s the difference between the sell-by date and the use-by date?
A sell-by date indicates the last day a product can be sold and still provide a reasonable period of normal home storage and consumption. A use-by date is intended to show how long a product will retain optimum quality.
There are different approaches to code dating on products:

1. Sell-by dates can be put on products by the manufacturer or by the retailer. These are quality dates and have no correlation to safety. Products can be sold and consumed safely after the sell-by date.
2. Use-by dates or best-if-used-by dates usually are put on products by the manufacturer to help consumers know when products are at their peak of freshness and quality. These are quality dates and have no correlation to safety. Products can be consumed safely after the use-by date.
3. Expiration or use-by dates are required by law on pharmaceutical products, infant formula and baby foods. These dates are required because the effectiveness or nutritional value cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturer. These products should not be sold or used after the expiration or use-by date.

On average, we carry more than 40,000 products in our stores. If you have questions about the shelf life of one of our private-label items, please contact our Information Center by email or phone: (800) 213-9040.

How can I determine the shelf life of an item I have purchased?
Food Marketing Institute (FMI) has a great Web site for researching food storage and safety advice: http://www.fmi.org/consumer/foodkeeper/. Simply type in the name of any product in the Search field to learn how long you should store the item in your pantry, refrigerator, or freezer. You can also find important information about safe food handling.

How long can I store my canned goods?
Preservatives are used in canned foods to maintain quality. Any preservatives in the product must be listed on the label. The canning process keeps foods safe. If a product is correctly processed, it should remain safe until opened or the seal is broken. However, storage for long periods of time is not recommended. For high quality (versus safety), the broadest guideline given by the USDA is to use high-acid canned food (fruits, tomatoes and pickled products) in 18 to 24 months and low-acid canned food (meats and vegetables) in two to five years. The system for coding can differ from one manufacturer to the next. Most companies offer a toll-free consumer information number on the label. We recommend that you call the number provided if you have questions about the code and/or the shelf life of a particular product.

Product recalls

What are my options if I have purchased a product that is being recalled?
If you have purchased a product at a Hannaford store that is being recalled, please bring the product back to the store for a refund. Click here to visit the "News" section of our Web site where we post the latest FDA and FSIS recalls and other notable recalls that you should be aware of.

If you use our online shopping lists or have your shopping list scanned at the register, we’ll email you when one of your items is recalled.

Coupons

Hannaford Coupon Acceptance Policy
We want our customers to get the best value in our stores and encourage them to utilize coupons to save on their groceries. Unfortunately, because we are seeing an increase in counterfeit coupons, we have found it necessary to institute a coupon acceptance policy.

We do not accept coupons that:

• Appear to have been photocopied
• Have expired or are missing an expiration date
• Do not have a UPC scan bar, or do not scan
• Have been identified as fraudulent by the manufacturer

Additionally, coupons with high dollar amount discounts off original retail value will be reviewed by store management.

 

Store management has final discretion in accepting, denying or limiting the use of any coupon presented. Unfortunately, because we are not always able to ascertain which coupons are legitimate and which are not, we will encounter times that our policy might prohibit some customers from redeeming valid coupons. We certainly regret any inconvenience or frustration this causes.

If you have questions about our policy, please contact our Customer Information Center @ 1-800-213-9040.

Nutrition Profile and Food Allergies

Where do nutrition facts come from?
For packaged products, nutrition facts and ingredients are collected from product labels and suppliers. For fresh items, all information – including allergen information – was collected from the USDA database of nutrition facts. We rely exclusively on that information. We do not independently review it, and do not provide any guarantees on its accuracy or completeness.

How can the shopping list help me with food allergies?
Once you set up your nutrition profile under your myHannaford account, the products viewed will display alerts for the select allergens and other notable product characteristics, such as high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oils using the nutrition facts we collect. But, it does not screen for potential contaminants or other factors of possible interest. Because it is only based on limited supplier or USDA information, it cannot be used to guarantee that a product or item is free of an allergen or other notable product characteristic.

How can I find out for sure if a product contains specific allergens, contaminants, or other notable product characteristics?
If you have a severe food allergy or other concern, please contact the manufacturer and consult your healthcare provider for medical advice. You may also contact our Customer Information Center at 1-800-213-9040, and our representatives will be happy to assist you in researching allergy and other questions about products we carry.

How does my nutrition profile fit in with my healthcare providers and resources?
Your nutrition profile is only intended as an aid for your shopping experience. This site and its services do not constitute the practice of any nutritional counseling, medical, nursing or other professional health care advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please see the "Disclaimer" portion of the Terms and Conditions of Use for more detailed information.

How do I view nutritional information for products?

• If you have forgotten your password, use the ’forgot password’ feature.
• If you have registered but have not received a confirmation email, you may have entered your email address incorrectly when you registered. You can enter your email ID into the ’forgot password’ feature to verify if your email is in our system or not.
