Five of the 17 bagged and pre-packaged fresh produce items are organic, as you can see in the above list.
Walmart is launching its new Marketside value-added, bagged and packaged fresh produce items in selected Supercenters and Neighborhood Market supermarkets.
Some of the 17 items have been sold at Walmart's four small-format 'marketside by Walmart' fresh food and grocery stores in Metropolitan Phoenix. Those stores opened in May 2008.
Earlier today we reported on and detailed that Walmart is introducing a new line of pre-packaged, ready-to-heat fresh, prepared entrees and soups under its Marketside store brand. [February 28, 2010 Walmart Introducing New Ready-To-Heat Prepared Entrees, Fresh Soups Under its Marketside Brand] The two new lines follow Walmart's introduction last year of its Marketside take-and-bake pizza line.
The extension of store brand Marketside to the new pre-packaged, value-added fresh produce line shows Walmart plans to use Marketside as a complete fresh foods store brand, including fresh produce - and other types of fresh foods - under the brand, along with the fresh, prepared foods line.
Interestingly, the new Marketside value-added fresh produce line includes not only the upscale, specialty items like the fancy and organic greens, but also more basic items like the iceberg lettuce and fresh vegetables.
For those who haven't thought Walmart isn't planning to exploit "Fresh," this new development, along with the Marketside fresh, prepared foods line extension, should offer a change of mind.
Additionally, Walmart will be rolling out additional fresh foods items under its Marketside store brand. Stay tuned.

I'm sure you know about it since you've been writing about the changes to the marketside website since 2008-09. They now have the new marketside prepared foods and produce items you wrote about posted on www.marketside.com
Good to hear from you Mike. And thanks for your comment.
Yes, we are well aware of the addition of the items, along with the revamp, on/of marketside.com
They did it a bit ago. Not breaking news.

They don't have the salsa line a a couple others on the site at present.
But they've added the prepared entrees and new pre-packaged salad items we first reported on in our February 28, 2010 post:)
Regards. Thanks for your participation.
