Vegan food items at Publix and Target

In the summer of 2011, VRG Intern Rita Pruzansky investigated the vegan options available at her local supermarket chains. This is what she found.

Vegan Foods at Publix

Below is a table of the food items at Publix Super Markets that are labeled vegan on the front of the package or in the ingredients list. Many of these products are also labeled as “certified vegan.” This list was made based on the products available in May and July 2011 at a Publix in Coral Springs, Florida. Product availability and their locations within the store may vary. The information about these products was obtained from a regular Publix market, but products may differ at Publix Greenwise markets. There may be a Greenwise section or aisle within the store, containing vegetarian, vegan, organic, and other health foods. Greenwise items may also be mixed in with products in other aisles. Since Greenwise is not entirely vegetarian, keep in mind that meat items may be located in the same area as vegetarian items, and read the package carefully before purchasing.

Vegan Foods at Target

The chart below shows the vegan-labeled products at Target that were available in May 2011 at a Target in Coral Springs, Florida. All products were listed as vegan on the package. This information was obtained from a Target with a fresh foods section. Like Publix, product availability and location of products within the store may vary. Variety of vegan products will depend on which type of Target you visit. Some Targets do not have a fresh food section, and others, “SuperTargets” may have a full grocery store and a more extensive variety.
