Finding organic, low-fat, no-fat and gluten-free products can be a chore, but Vic's World Class Market, 42875 Grand River, Noyi, is trying to fill this ever-growing niche. "Our Natural Foods section is steadi ly increasing as people realize we have it," said Tom Br^nn, Vic's grocery man ager. Vic's carries organic milk, yogurt, pasta and a variety of canned products, such as Shari's Bistro Organic Soup, which is made in Dexter, Mich. "The frozen food section is a big draw," said Brynn. "People are looking for convenience." An ever-growing number of specialty products is making it easier to eat well. Vic's even stocks fat-free brownie mixes.
