2010-03-02 Walmart and Whole Foods go head-to-head in organic battle Pantry Raid

Kummer was so intrigued by Walmarts selection (free-range organic eggs, all-natural, hormone-free milk and organic meat) that he decided a blind taste test was in order: Walmart vs. Whole Foods. In purchasing ingredients for the showdown, which was refereed by a panel of critics, bloggers and food lovers, Kummer spent significantly less at Walmart than he did at Whole Foods for nearly identical ingredients.

The verdict Walmart held its own in a big way. Much to their chagrin, the panel members often preferred Walmarts products over Whole Foods, including almonds and fresh greens. Kummer found that the corporate giant has (in the name of profit, of course) made inroads into the organic and locavore movement, participating in a number of little-known programs that aim to rebuild local farming communities. An interesting notion, coming from a retailer with a reputation for undermining local economies.

That being said, the variety of produce is likely to be better at a Whole Foods or Hmart. Also, Walmart seems to be content with just barely beating Giant on produce prices, so I can find better bargains elsewhere.
