NEW Fresh Express Leaf Locator (Plus Giveaway!)

Ever wonder where the lettuce in the bags of salad comes from? Most bagged salads only show an expiration date and a peek through the bag at the lettuce inside, but Fresh Express is sharing what’s inside the bag to give parents peace of mind!

You can now track where your Fresh Express bagged lettuce came from with the new Fresh Express Leaf Locator Tool!  The Leaf Locator tracks nearly 50 million bags of lettuce and spinach each month sold in 24,000 grocery stores nationwide.

To find out where the lettuce in your bagged salad came from, just type in the first letter and 3 digits on the front of your bag found under the “best by” date.

The locator will tell you where your lettuce came from, a short description of the process from field to store, and a picture of the location. You might even find some fun trivia about lettuce. This could be a fun way to teach kids that food doesn’t just magically appear in grocery stores!

Fresh Express has also offered to give away some FREE coupons to a few of my lucky readers!

How to Win

Leave a comment on this post simply telling me what you think about the Leaf Locater.

  2. I really like the idea of knowing where my food comes from. You always give us such great info and freebies. Have a great weekend!

  3. I think this is a very forward thinking concept. It brings a very personal touch to the product and makes me feel that it comes from a “known source”. I trust and love the brand already. This makes it even better to love.

  4. As my mom would say, Now we know its real and fresh! Thanks for the neat leaf locator…. I’d love to win!

  5. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us . That is wonderful information about products and where they came from.

  7. I Love the idea of this! I am always concerned about the food my children and my hubby and I take in so this will defiantly be a great tool for us! Thanks!

  8. I think that this website is one of the most facinating food sites – it is so cool to see where your salad came from.

  9. What a great idea! Not only will the kids love knowing this information, but I will have great peace of mind!

  10. The Leaf Locator is terrific! I’m always curious where my food is grown – and, maybe this will help my daughter to enjoy her veggies more. 😉

  11. Interesting information! Always good to have useful facts. I know my kids would think it’s neat to investigate where their lettuce came from!

  12. This sounds great! People are always questioning where food comes from now a days. I think your right, it can give parents a piece of mind knowing that they are giving their kids quality foods to eat.

  13. Great idea! I will definitely use this feature to ensure the health of my family when it comes to buying bagged salads!

  14. What a cool idea! I wish more food came with that kind of information! I will definitely use this tool.

  15. Bagged salads are such a valuable meal tool! The launch of the “Leaf Locator” should be a defining moment for Fresh Express, as they are setting the stage for other companies to be proactive with tracking their produce. Tools like this can help teach our kids healthy eating habits in a fun way! Way to go Fresh Express! 🙂

  16. Wow! One of those, “Why didn’t they think of that before”…
    Great to track….
    Would love to win a free bag! I love Freebies!

  17. Pretty neat idea! I love bagged salad but it always seems to go bad so quickly, it would be interesting to see how long it takes to get from harvesting to packaging to my table.

  18. Yea, cool giveaway! I think I will have fun looking this up with my son! Cool idea Fresh Express!

  19. I like the idea, but in practicality, it doesn’t matter where my food comes from. I wish that I could afford to eat local (and organic) but it’s just not possible. A pretty neat concept though.

  20. I think the Leaf Locator is really neat, and educational for my kids! We don’t have our own garden (unfortunately) and this might be a fun way to talk about where vegetables come from and how food makes it on to our table. Great giveaway!

  21. I think it is great to be able to look it up and see where your salad is coming from. Plus it is a good teaching tool to show my kids how far things can travel before they get to the store.

  22. What a great idea! I also love their salads, so many choices and always so crisp and tasty! My family loves them! Just now knowing where they are packaged and where they come from is another reason to love this product!

  23. What an interesting idea! And what a great way to show my children where their food actually comes from. We love salads! 🙂

  24. Really neat idea. It’s nice if more companys would do this so we all had a better idea of how fresh our food is.

  25. This is a great idea! After seeing Food Inc., I realize that we really do need to know where our vegetables, not just our meat, come from.

  26. Ohh yay! Thanks for the giveaway chance! I think the leaf locator is a great idea and a fun learning opportunity for your children as well. I’m even kind of excited to try this myself.
