Additionally, Publix is suspending refunds on products purchased during the declared emergency over the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is to encourage shoppers to purchase only what they need, and to deter hoarders. That being said, Publix will continue to honor refunds or exchanges for products that do not meet company quality standards.
