Wal-Mart Denies Organic Troubles

Dear Editor, Pallavi Gogoi's article, posted April 12, 2007, on Businessweek.com, is an erroneous and inaccurate representation of Wal-Mart's commitment to providing our customers with affordable access to organic products.

We have been selling organic products in our Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets for many years and, due to customer demand, announced plans to double the organic food offerings in those locations in March of 2006. We quickly met that goal and even exceeded it in communities where there is an exceptionally high demand for organic offerings. We continue to see steady customer interest in buying quality organics at great prices.


Read the rest of the letter.
