Walmart is rolling out a new store label designed to appeal to younger customers who are not brand loyal and want gourmet foods that are more affordably priced.

The company said on Tuesday that it’s rolling out 300 new products, sold under the name Bettergoods, representing its largest private brand food launch in 20 years. 

The new line includes upscale products such as premium bronze-cut pasta from Italy, priced at $1.97 per package, and plant-based mozzarella, which costs less than $4. The rollout comes as more shoppers are shifting to store brands, which tend to cost less than premium brands, as a way to counter food inflation. 

Walmart is debuting a new store brand called Bettergoods, which it says is “chef-iinspired” and designed to create an “elevated experience.” Products range in price from $2 to $15, although many cost less than $5.

Walmart said the items will range in price from $2 to $15, with most of them under the $5 mark. 

When will Bettergoods products be on the shelves? 

Walmart said some Bettergoods items are already on shelves, but that it plans to introduce more through the fall. 

What types of products are sold under the Bettergoods label?

  • Creamy Corn Jalapeno Chowder: Less than $4
  • Premium Bronze Cut Pasta from Italy: $1.97
