MINNEAPOLIS — In keeping with its commitment to make it easier for families to live well and within their budgets, the Wild Harvest® brand, part of the SUPERVALU family of private brands, today announced plans to make 100 percent of its shell eggs cage-free by year end.
“The Wild Harvest brand is focused on providing consumers with affordable, organic and free-from products sourced from farmers, ranchers and suppliers dedicated to environmentally and socially conscious practices,” said David Young, SUPERVALU’s vice president of private brands. “Our decision to move toward exclusively cage-free eggs is just one more way we are expanding that commitment.”
The Wild Harvest brand annually sells more than 38 million eggs under 12 different product varieties or SKUs. Earlier this year, the brand introduced a new 18-count cage-free egg, as well as a free-range, Non–GMO Project-verified 12-count egg product.
Wild Harvest products are available at SUPERVALU retail banners, including CUB® Foods, FARM FRESH® FOOD & PHARMACY, HORNBACHER’S®, SHOP ‘N SAVE® and SHOPPERS FOOD & PHARMACY®, as well as independent grocery retailers nationwide.
