Victoria Donates $10K To Spoons Across America In Honor Of Their #ReadYourLabel Campaign

The #ReadYourLabel movement officially kicked off on September 7^th, 2016, which Eric L. Adams, President of the Borough of Brooklyn, proclaimed "Read Your Label Day," stating, "All of Brooklyn joins today to recognize and honor Victoria for its outstanding contributions to increase public awareness about the importance of choosing healthier options." Victoria engaged consumers to show their support by sharing Victoria's Facebook post or using #ReadYourLabel. For every share or hash tagged post, Victoria agreed to donate $1 (up to $10,000) to Spoons Across America, a not-for-profit organization that teaches children healthy eating habits. To date the video has been viewed over 66K times.

Like its hometown, Brooklyn, Victoria is a leader of positive change in the food industry and is leading compliance with the new FDA label ruling on communication around added sugar – we are proud to say we have no added sugar and clearly state that on our packaging.

"Modern consumers are more conscious than ever about eating healthy, however they still habitually purchase and serve food that isn't the best option. Victoria is committed to Positive Category Change and transparent labelling,which we believe helps them make better choices," said Tim Shanley, Victoria representative. 

Founded in 1929, Victoria continues to craft premium pasta sauces with only a handful of fresh ingredients - no water, no paste, and no sugar added.  At Victoria, Ingredients Come First™; it was the first major pasta sauce brand to put its ingredients on the front of its label and is now at the vanguard of the Read Your Label movement.
