The Big Retailer Showdown: Which Grocer Sells the Most Processed Food to Americans?

Feb 12, 2025

·

Just seven major food retailers, with their multiple chains and brands, control 2/3 of food sold in the U.S. But here’s the real question: Which one has the most processed foods on offer?

And how do they stack up against the national average of 30% of foods being ultra or super-ultra processed.

The numbers don’t lie—find out who does, and does not, put your health first.

Walmart v Amazon v Kroger v Albertson v Ahold Delhaize

WISEcode UPF™ Code evaluates over 5,000 processed ingredients to simplify the complexities of processed foods. By analyzing ingredient lists for highly processed components, it provides clarity on ultra-processed foods (UPFs).  The Wc-UPF™ Code creates 5 levels of processing: minimal, light, moderate, ultra and super ultra-processed foods.  In the U.S., about 30% of all US packaged foods are either UPF or Super-UPF.

Alberstons is the worst.  Kroger is not much better. Only Walmart and Amazon are below the national average.  Why do these BIG FOOD retailers want to feed us so much ultra-processed food? Don’t the executives have kids?  Don’t they care about their families’ health?
