Report: Amazon To Launch Private Label Food Items

Amazon is expanding the grocery business by broadening its private-label brand, Elements, into food items, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

In December, Amazon launched the Elements brand by selling baby diaper wipes, which are sourced from a vendor, to Amazon Prime members. By paying $99 a year, Prime customers get expedited shipping and access to streamed movies and TV shows.

At the time, company watchers speculated that the brand will be used to launch other products, mirroring the private-label strategy used by other large retailers.
