AN Supps Expands Innovation With Iconic Chiquita® Brand Collab and a Nationwide Walmart U.S. Launch
NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the indulgence of beach barbeques and happy hours fading into rear view mirrors, consumers will stock up on health and wellness related foods and beverages, while shopping for the Fall. AN Supps, a division of Applied Nutrition PLC, has responded to this trend - joining forces with Chiquita® Brands International and thousands of Walmart U.S. stores to deliver protein and pre-workout sports beverage mixes. AN Supps began its partnership with Chiquita® earlier in 2025, with five co-branded sports nutrition products exclusively sold through The Vitamin Shoppe. The expanded partnership through Walmart allows shoppers to enjoy not only nutritious, healthy supplements so simple to use – but also a great-tasting source for beverage and food snacks, suited for many lifestyles. The AN ESSENTIAL line of Chiquita® co-branded sports nutrition powders, exclusively from AN Supps, is now available at thousands of Walmart locations in the United States, and on "This partnership evolved naturally," remarked Aaron Heidebreicht, CEO of AN Supps. "Bananas are the world's most popular fruit. Walmart already sells over three billion bananas annually in the United States alone. We are determined to address unmet demand in our own aisles. The Chiquita® banner helps us to reinforce the integrity and quality of our sports nutrition, as Chiquita does with its core product." Heidebreicht continued. "Each offering delivers on natural flavors – and a serving of each protein powder has 100% of the potassium found in a banana. We are giving wellness consumers the solution they need elsewhere in a Walmart location. Plus, the protein product, like any Chiquita® banana, tastes delicious." Walmart will be offering two protein powders from AN Supps, featuring the Chiquita co-branding – a banana chocolate whey protein, and a banana strawberry whey protein. Both are gluten-free, potassium enriched, and servings from each contain 20 grams of protein. AN Supps will further celebrate the bevy of fresh fruit that also define the Chiquita® brand equity. Chiquita® distributes fresh apples, berries, pineapples, grapes, melon and citrus worldwide. These inspire two additional Chiquita® co-branded items at Walmarts nationwide: pineapple strawberry and fruit blend pre-workout powders. Much like the Chiquita® fruits inspiring these powders, both are gluten-free, soy-free, vegan-friendly, and with no added sugar. "Chiquita® has been meticulous in its approach to extending across aisles at retail chains as prestigious as Walmart," said Maria Janis, Vice-President, Licensing at Chiquita® Brands International. "We ask ourselves introspectively: Does the new category complement wholesome nutrition? Will it appeal to a wide demographic? Do the ingredient and flavor profiles align with Chiquita® fresh produce we ship worldwide? Does the new category reinforce our brand's wellness values? And importantly, will the product meet the needs of critical stakeholders – our shoppers and the retail chains they frequent? The AN Supps line, quite simply, checks all the boxes," Janis remarked. "Applied Nutrition PLC is a public company traded on the London Stock Exchange," continued Heidebreicht. "Our stockholders mandate us to innovate and surpass consumer expectations, while paying homage to the trademark brands that long achieved those goals. We benefit in multiple ways through our strategic alliance with Chiquita® Brands International, and with Walmart locations throughout the United States. This extends our global alliance with these partners, which consumers everywhere continue to enjoy," Heidebreicht said. The four AN Supps SKUs at Walmart U.S. locations, co-branded with Chiquita®, include banana-chocolate whey protein; banana-strawberry whey protein; pineapple-strawberry pre-workout powder; and fruit blend pre-workout powder. About Chiquita® Brands International Chiquita® is a leading global produce company that is committed to providing both consumers and customers across nearly 70 countries with the highest quality of fruit and service, making Chiquita® the banana of choice.

Amazon rolls out expansion of same-day groceries to 1,000 cities, includes perishable items
screenshot Amazon is now offering shoppers in more than 1,000 cities free, same-day delivery of groceries — including perishable goods such as milk, seafood, frozen items and fresh produce. The company plans to expand the service to an additional 1,300 cities by the year's end. In most areas, the deliveries are free for Prime members for orders that cost more than $25. If the purchase is below that amount, the cost is $2.99. For shoppers without a Prime membership, the delivery tacks on a $12.99 fee. The same-day grocery ordering is integrated into the regular shopping that consumers use for other household purchases with a quick turnaround. Amazon began testing the service last year, announcing an initial trial in Phoenix in October. GeekWire tested the service in Seattle in June, adding apples, cucumbers and blueberries to a late-night order that included a memory card and dishwasher detergent. All of the items arrived the next morning — non-grocery items in one package, groceries an hour later in an insulated package. Grocery items that need to be chilled or frozen come from fulfillment sites with temperature-controlled areas. The company said the insulated bags are recyclable in most curbside recycling programs. Amazon has for years been expanding and experimenting in the grocery store space. In 2007, it started offering grocery deliveries in Seattle through Amazon Fresh, then offered Amazon Fresh grocery pick-up sites and eventually started opening Amazon Fresh grocery stores beginning in 2020. It also acquired the high-end grocery Whole Foods Market in 2017. Amazon said the same-day service is proving popular in cities where it's already been available, leading to more frequent purchases and increased shopping with Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market. 'Many of these shoppers were first-time Amazon grocery customers who now return to shop twice as often with Same-Day Delivery service compared to those who didn't purchase fresh food,' Amazon said in a release. 'What's more, early adoption in these regions showed the popularity of groceries among Prime members, with strawberries now consistently knocking AirPods out of the top 5 best sellers of all products sold…' However, a test of the service this morning from Seattle offered a hodgepodge of sources for the goods and a range of delivery costs. Searching the site for 'produce' and 'get it today' delivery offered bananas through Amazon Fresh, which required an order of more than $50 for free delivery; avocados from Whole Foods Market that added a $9.95 fee for delivery; and dried cranberries from Prime that would arrive for free between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. News of the expanded delivery service caused stock prices to dip for other companies offering grocery deliveries. Instacart's stock was down close to 11%, while Walmart slid nearly 2%. ' latest move to grow food share by offering free same-day delivery of groceries, in tandem with core products for Prime members, could pull some on-demand orders away from rivals like Walmart and Kroger as its $25 minimum order undercuts theirs,' Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Poonam Goyal and Anurag Rana told Bloomberg.
