Powered by Pogo
Blue Zones Approved is now Powered by Pogo!
This program promotes and highlights good-for-you foods in participating grocery stores (and soon, restaurants!) in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.
​
Making healthy choices should be easy! That's why the Pogo Fruit & Veggie UP! Coalition has partnered with Firelake Discount Foods to help consumers easily identify foods that deliciously support a healthy lifestyle.
