Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has completed a periodic review of the ratings of United Natural Foods, Inc and other ratings that are associated with the same analytical unit. The review was conducted through a portfolio review in which Moody's reassessed the appropriateness of the ratings in the context of the relevant principal methodology(ies), recent developments, and a comparison of the financial and operating profile to similarly rated peers. Since 1 January 2019, Moody's practice has been to issue a press release following each periodic review to announce its completion.

Concurrently, Moody's also downgraded the rating of the company's senior secured term loan to B3 from B2. "UNFI's operating performance has been below expectations since its acquisition of SUPERVALU Inc. with metrics and profitability expected to be lower than our previous forecasts for the next 12-18 months", Moody's Vice President Mickey Chadha stated.
