“Joining Walmart Marketplace not only expands access to our Vitamin Whey product line but also creates opportunities for Edible Garden to offer more products on the platform. This includes the potential to introduce additional shelf-stable items, such as our Pulp line of sustainable, gourmet sauces and chili-based products. We believe that the growth opportunity for the Company as a result of our products being made available through the Walmart Marketplace is immense, and we are confident that our innovative products will continue to meet the evolving tastes of an expanding universe of consumers.”
