UNFI Completes Haddon House Acquisition

United Natural Foods Inc. (UNFI) has completed its previously revealed acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Haddon House Food Products Inc. and certain affiliated entities, in addition to certain real estate on financial terms announced earlier.
