Walmart Rolling Out Wild Oats Organic Products

Walmart will carry Wild Oats organic food items. Originally introduced in 1987, Wild Oats says it will relaunch at Walmart starting this month with a new, more affordable price point on quality products covering a variety of categories—from salsa and pasta sauce to quinoa and chicken broth. Customers will save 25 percent or more when comparing Wild Oats to national brand organic products, the companies say.

Wild Oats will feature the following lines at Walmart:

• Wild Oats Marketplace Organic, which adheres to USDA guidelines for organic certification and includes everything from canned vegetables (15 oz.) at $.88 to a full range of spices like paprika, curry powder and ground cinnamon (2 oz.) starting at $2.48. Organic items represent nearly 90 percent of the Wild Oats offering.

• Wild Oats Marketplace, which includes products with simple and real ingredients, such as ready-to-prepare skillet meals (5.8 oz.) at $1.50.

• Wild Oats Marketplace Originals, offering new and uniquely formulated items, will be available later this year.

“We know our customers are interested in purchasing organic products and, traditionally, those customers have had to pay more,” said Jack Sinclair, EVP of grocery at Walmart U.S. “We are changing that and creating a new price position for organic groceries that increases access. This is part of our ongoing effort to use our scale to deliver quality, affordable groceries to our customers.”

Added Tom Casey, CEO of Wild Oats, “By partnering with Walmart, Wild Oats is starting a movement that makes it easier than ever for customers to access affordable organic and natural products. Our availability at Walmart will allow us to finally pass along scalable savings directly to consumers. We are reinvigorating our brand by bringing great tasting Wild Oats products to more customers than ever before.”

Walmart and Wild Oats will introduce nearly 100 products as part of the line.

With more than 4,000 stores across the nation selling groceries, Walmart says it offers a broad assortment of fresh produce, dairy, meat and packaged foods. In addition to growing its organic product offering through Wild Oats, the Arkansas-based retailer is expanding its assortment in categories like yogurt, produce, deli and bakery.

“At Walmart, we are focused on offering customers choice,” said Sinclair. “We know our customers count on us to provide them with affordable access to all of the groceries they are looking for. Organics are no exception.”

Wild Oats’ product assortment will vary by store. Walmart.com also will offer Wild Oats this summer.
