About Signature SELECT

Signature SELECT is the flagship private-label brand of Albertsons Companies, sold at Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Tom Thumb, Shaw's, and other banner stores. Consolidated under the Signature family in 2023, it covers thousands of food and beverage products from pantry staples to frozen meals. Albertsons operates nearly 2,300 stores across 34 US states.

Common concerns with Signature SELECT products

Signature SELECT products span a wide range and ingredient quality varies significantly by category. Snack and dessert items may contain artificial dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6), preservatives including BHA, BHT, and TBHQ, and HFCS. Albertsons has not announced the same sweeping clean-label reformulation commitments as Walmart, Sam's Club, or Target, so shoppers should read labels carefully across product categories.
