O Organics®
At Albertsons Companies, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to go organic. That’s why we offer such a wide assortment of O Organics products, from fresh fruits and vegetables to wholesome dairy and meats, cage-free certified eggs, cereals, snacks, baby food, and more. O Organics gives you access to an affordable and growing line of organic food and is exclusively available at Albertsons Companies stores.
All O Organics products are USDA Certified organic, which means the products were grown in environmentally friendly ways that help to conserve biodiversity, promote ecological balance, and protect natural resources. This ensures that least 95% of the ingredients in each O Organics product are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides fertilizers, antibiotics, added growth hormones or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) — providing you and your family with a complete line of wholesome and great tasting food.
When O Organics launched in 2005, we became one of the first major retailers to offer a wide selection of organic food. Today, the O Organics line features more than 1,500 products that are all USDA Certified organic and carry the USDA-certified organic seal. Albertsons Companies continues to lead the way and expand our product portfolio with diverse and affordable organic options.
Albertsons Companies’ O Organics® coffee is 100 percent certified sustainable by Fair Trade USA, meeting our Sustainable Coffee Challenge commitment. This means that your favorite O Organics coffee, be it whole bean, ground, instant, or coffee pods, is grown responsibly. Fair Trade Certified coffee protects the environment and ensures that hard-working farmers earn fair wages and work in safe conditions.
Other ways that Fair Trade Certification benefits farmers and their communities includes:
- Training on sustainable farming methods and growing products that meet high standards.
- Access to education and healthcare for farmers and their families.
- Receiving Community Development Funds that allow them to invest in the future.
- Earning higher pay for organic crops.
According to Paul Rice, President and CEO of Fair Trade USA, “Demand for ethical products is on the rise, and with the commitment of O Organics coffee bags to Fair Trade, consumers now have more opportunities to choose products that not only taste good, but also do good.”
Look for the Fair Trade Certified™ label while you shop. You’ll enjoy that cup of coffee even more knowing you’re helping farmers around the world.

Open Nature™
Sometimes, it’s hard to find wholesome options for the foods your family members prefer. We have created a line of products to make eating delicious foods as easy for you as possible.
Open Nature™ is food as nature intended. This means no artificial colors or preservatives, no added trans-fat, and no hydrogenated oils. Open Nature meats come from animals raised without antibiotics or added hormones, and they are all vegetarian-fed. You don’t have to sacrifice flavor to eat more naturally.
Open Nature products include fresh chicken and beef, bread, yogurt, salad dressing, and frozen foods. We have continued to add a variety of new items, including frozen yogurt bars and eggs.
Many of the ingredients used in our Open Nature products are non-GMO. Learn more about Albertsons Companies’ position on GMOs.

Open Nature carries earth-friendlier home care and home cleaning products that are dye-free and never tested on animals. These products are as effective as leading national brands, but they are made with naturally derived and biodegradable ingredients whenever possible.
A number of Open Nature home cleaning products are approved by the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) program as well as the newer Safer Choice program. The Safer Choice program promotes safer chemicals in products that are healthier for our communities and planet. In
2021, we received the EPA Safer Choice Partner of the Year award for the fourth
time. The EPA recognized our efforts to launch new Safer Choice-certified Own
Brands products, raise awareness of the program, and help identify
opportunities for educating consumers. Our Own Brands portfolio now offers six
Open Nature® laundry detergent products that are Safer Choice-certified. In addition to the EPA Safer Choice Program guidelines, we also have our own restricted substances list for our Open Nature products.
