Product tags make it easy to find products that meet your values, sustainability goals, and dietary needs.

Philly Foodworks product tags appear on the bottom of each product card on the market. The tag's name is visible when you hover over the icon. You can use the sidebar filter to explore and filter products by packaging, dietary preferences, production methods, who made them, and distance from Philadelphia.
