From our shelves, to your table... Bite’s mission is to bring communities and families together to learn about nutritious foods. We’ve partnered with Aldi to show that meals can be fun, colorful, and tasty too! Kids can explore the store with a scavenger hunt, make fun recipes, and learn about portions. We believe that when deciding between eating well and saving money, always choose both.
