Walmart U.S. / Marketside / Great Value

Walmart U.S. sells meat under private labels including Marketside and Great Value, with distinct supplier and regional beef programs.

About

Sourcing

The Midwest Angus program uses beef from Sustainable Beef in North Platte, Nebraska; Walmart invested in that supplier in 2022.

Practices

Its antibiotic policy allows medical use for ill or at-risk animals under veterinary oversight and exempts ionophores from its request to end growth-promotion use.

Practices

Its raw ground beef, bison and lamb requirements call for approved facilities, GFSI-recognized certification, validated pathogen controls and lot-based E. coli testing.

Practices

Its July 2026 land-sourcing policy calls for supplier plans, traceability and verification for beef from priority regions in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
