Kick off the new year with fresh insights on our Publix dietitians.
Meet Corporate Dietitian Anastasia Kyriakopoulos — 1 of 5 Publix registered and licensed dietitian nutritionists. Anastasia has been with Publix for nearly 8 years. With a Bachelor of Science degree in food science and human nutrition, her Publix career began as an in-store dietitian with our dietitian services pilot program before coming to corporate.
Anastasia and our other dietitians
- share their extensive knowledge of food and nutrition with our business areas, departments and stores
- participate in product panels and tastings
- engage in category reviews when products are being evaluated
- manage our Better Choice shelf tag program and wellness icons
- create health and wellness content for marketing and social media
- review and approve all GreenWise food items to ensure product formulations align with brand standards and
- collaborate with our corporate chefs to create health and wellness recipes.
“It’s like we are internal consultants,” Anastasia explained. “My favorite part about working for Publix as a corporate dietitian is being able to make a difference in our customers’ lives. We are able to recommend and make changes to ingredients that will raise the bar for nutrition in our Publix or GreenWise brand products.”
Each dietitian also serves as a gatekeeper for our GreenWise brand, ensuring that all food products meet our strict brand criteria. They also oversee GreenWise product criteria.
“We have very comprehensive lists and strict brand criteria to guide us when picking the best supplements and ingredients to fit the criteria of GreenWise products,” said Anastasia. “You can really trust what you’re buying.”
“GreenWise eggs, without fail, are on my list of favorite products. As well as the vegan chocolate chip and vegan cranberry oatmeal cookies in our Publix Bakery,” she said.
