UNFI, short for United Natural Foods, Inc., has a unique history rooted in its formation through multiple mergers and acquisitions in the natural and organic food distribution sector.

Founded in 1996 through the merger of three regional distributors – Cornucopia Natural Foods, Mountain People’s Warehouse, and Blooming Prairie Cooperative – UNFI quickly became a major player in the distribution of natural and organic products. As of 2023, UNFI operates as a leading distributor across the United States and Canada.
