Price Chopper/Market 32 & Hannaford Stop Selling 'Ugly' Produce
October 26, 2018 | 1 min to read
Kroger, the nation's largest supermarket chain, announced this week it will sell 'ugly' produce to cut down on food waste, but Price Chopper/Market 32 and Hannaford both stopped carrying similar products after trial periods.
Price Chopper/Market 32, the largest supermarket chain in the Albany region, started selling the Misfits brand of misshapen but edible fruits and vegetables at a discount in August 2017 at 15 stores in the Northeast.
"Though the program was noble in its intent, the quality of the product was inconsistent and didn’t always meet our high standards," said Mona Golub, spokeswoman for the Schenectady-based chain.
Hannaford started selling Misfits in May 2016 on a trial basis in 14 Albany-area stores.
