The change will affect some of the following products:

Customers will enjoy lower prices on products like Whole Trade bananas, organic avocados, organic large brown eggs, organic responsibly-farmed salmon and tilapia, organic baby kale and baby lettuce, animal-welfare-rated 85% lean ground beef, creamy and crunchy almond butter, organic Gala and Fuji apples, organic rotisserie chicken, 365 Everyday Value organic butter, and much more.

Grocery products will also be available to ship via “Amazon.com, AmazonFresh, Prime Pantry and Prime Now” either to a local Whole Foods or an Amazon user’s home. Whole Foods customers can also expect to see Amazon Lockers in select stores.

The partnership won’t just stop at food, though. The companies plan to offer other discounts in the coming years.
