Wessanen announced that its US Tree of Life Division was ending its contract with Ralph’s, stating that the $45 million sales were unprofitable. Tree of Life has both a natural division, under the same name, and its Gourmet Award division selling specialty items.
While no announcement has been, NBN expects that UNFI will not gain this account, given the large volume of specialty items delivered by Tree as part of this contract are specialty items that are not currently in UNFI’s warehouse.
