Just add what you need in one order, and we handle the rest. Customers are enjoying online grocery delivery so much we’re seeing them turn to Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market for even more of their grocery needs.�
Amazon works hard to ensure customers can feel confident in the fresh food they’re purchasing online.

Temperature-sensitive products are delivered in insulated bags that are recyclable in most curbside recycling programs, the same used for Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market deliveries, to ensure items remain at appropriate temperatures.
Amazon has spent over 25 years setting the standard for selection, speed, and value across millions of products—and it’s bringing that same commitment to groceries. Already a for grocery shopping for over 150 million Americans, Amazon generated over
The service complements Amazon’s existing grocery delivery offerings, including Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and a variety of local grocery and specialty retailers, giving customers multiple ways to shop for groceries based on their specific needs � from full grocery hauls to same-day convenience shopping that combines perishable food with everyday household essentials. Amazon will continue expanding this capability to additional cities and towns through 2026. Same-Day Delivery, now with fresh groceries, is just one benefit of Prime membership. Prime is savings, convenience, and entertainment—all in one membership. For more information about Prime, including discounted memberships, visit .
