Canton ShopRite Hires West Hartford Woman As Dietician

CANTON/WEST HARTFORD, CT — Modern supermarkets are more than just a place to buy the food that you eat, they're also a place where you learn how to eat the food that you buy.

According to announcement Thursday, ShopRite of Canton recently welcomed registered dietitian Hannah Waxler of West Hartford to head up the store’s health and wellness outreach to customers.

"We are excited to have Hannah join our team. Her addition continues more than 12 years of serving the community through our wellness program, which includes in-store nutritional counseling, events and recipe demonstrations,” said Chuck Joseph, president of Joseph Family Markets, which operates the ShopRite of Canton.

Canton's ShopRite is located inside the Shops at Farmington Valley at 110 Albany Turnpike, Canton.

As a ShopRite registered dietitian, Waxler provides complimentary health and wellness services for customers such as free one-on-one nutrition counseling.

She also offers recipes with healthy alternatives, provides guidance on proper nutrition for specific health conditions and dietary needs and navigates the aisles with shoppers to help them better understand food labels.

In addition, Waxler will host online and in-store classes for both kids and adults to help with healthy eating.

Born and raised in the Farmington Valley area, Waxler earned her bachelor of science degree in nutritional sciences at the University of Connecticut.

"Since 2006, ShopRite’s registered dietitians have provided meal inspiration suggestions and substitutes for different lifestyles to support customers on their personal wellness journeys," wrote ShopRite in an announcement.
