Note to Vendors:l The following item elements connect to the tags and signage customers see in WFM stores. Please input accordingly.

w Retail Size, Retail UOM, Item DescriptionCommon Item Elements:UPC (Universal Product Code)

llll Do NOT put a PLU (price look up) code in this field.

UPC Check Digit l A numeric digit used to ensure that account numbers are entered accurately into the computer.

Brandl If you are a distributor of branded product, you MUST provide the brand.l If the product does not have a brand (bulk, prepared foods), put your company name in this field.

Item Descriptionl This is a short version of your item description, limited to 28 characters so that it can fit in the handheld device our team member uses to order.l This is the description WFM team members use to order, search and identify your items in IRMA.

Unit Sizel The size of the retail unit. This field is ALWAYS A NUMBER but is allowed to have decimals.

w Example: A retail box of emergency with 50 packets of individual 0.5 ounce emergen-c will be sold to customers by the box. So the retail size would be "0.5".w Example: A value size shampoo is 32 oz. Your unit size is "32".

UOMl This is the characterization of the items in the retail-selling unit. OZ, CAP, POUND, EA

Casepacklll If you sell one retail unit to us at a time, then this field will be “1”.l If you sell to us by the case, then this number will be more than onel Some packs have inner packs, or two different types of retail selling units: in this case, the two retail-selling units must have different UPCs

wl Bulk items are sometimes confusing, but keep in mind how the store customer purchases the product

wExample: A fifty-pound wheel of cheese will be sold to customers by the pound, so the pack size would be 50

w Example: A two-pound package of cheese will be sold to customers as is, so the pack size would be 1Vendor Name

l This is the company that will be billing Whole Foods Market for the new item you are requesting.l If you use a distributor, it will be the name of your distributor.

VIN (Vendor Item Number)l The vendor item number is the identifying code the vendor assigns to the product they carry. l It is also referred to as a product code, order number, vendor stock number, or warehouse number.l Whole Foods Market uses this number to place orders for this productl VIN is REQUIRED for all items and it has to be a unique identifier to each of your item

The Universal Product Code is the unique 8 to 12 digit (including the check digit) numerical code assigned to a product that includes the manufacturer’s code. We do NOT accept check digits so the maximum number of digits for a UPC is 11.We also accept EAN and JAN codes that are international and Japanese designations. These codes include a country of origin and range up to 14 digits, but once again we do NOT accept check digits so the maximum number of digits for an EAN/JAN is 13.Not all items have a UPC (example: bulk or prepared foods), so this is not a mandatory field for those items. Leave the field BLANK if you do not have UPC for your item.

This is the number of retail selling units (otherwise known as “eaches”) in a pack (also known as a case or carton). This field is ALWAYS A NUMBER.An important thing to remember with this field is that this is how Whole Foods Market buys the product from you, not how the retail customer buys from us.

Example: A box of 20 energy bars with a UPC of 0000000001234 can be sold as a whole for $20 but the box could be broken down and the bars can be sold by the each with a UPC of 000000001235 for $0.89

Nutri-Fact vs. Supp-Factl All food items should have either Nutritional Fact panel or Supplement Fact panel to show the analyzed contect of the given item.l These panels determine how the item is taxed, and it also affect if the item can be pruchased by food stemp (EBT).l Please see the "Nutri-Fact vs. Supp-Fact" tab for example images of the panels.
