Food added at some Walgreens

Deerfield-based Walgreens Wednesday unveiled its new expanded food selection in several Chicago communities identified as food deserts, or areas that lack access to basic foods necessary to maintain a healthy diet.

Walgreens has redesigned 10 of its stores on Chicago's South and West Sides to include more than 750 new food items including fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen meats and fish, pasta, rice, beans, eggs, whole grain cereals and other healthy meal components.
