Albert's Organics—a division of United Natural Foods, a nationwide organic, natural and specialty food distributor based in Rhode Island—recently announced that its integration with Sarasota's Global Organic Specialty Source Inc. will be complete as of Friday, June 24. Global Organic, one of the biggest organic food distributers in the United States, was sold to United Natural Foods in March. Starting Friday, Albert’s Organics and Global Organic will operate as one company and will begin working out of Global Organic's Sarasota facility, according to a blog post published on the Global Organic website by Albert's Organics president Scott Dennis.
