Wal-Mart is notorious for their knowledge of the supply chain for their vendors, whether the vendor wanted to give up that information or not. On the other side of things, I've seen some pretty questionable items in dollar stores including food products that weren't labeled for the US market. The gas station near my house buys some of their products from Costco and breaks the packs into individual items, complete with "Not labeled for individual sale" warnings. Hopefully Costco is like Wal-Mart when it comes to supply chain knowledge.

Say what you will about Walmart but they don't haphazardly choose what they throw in their stores--there's only so much physical space and they have to make chooses their local market will continue to return and buy more/other products.
- angelbar 7y ago"Not labeled for individual sale" has any legality?
- sethhochberg 7y agoGenerally thats exactly what it means - the individual products don't have nutrition info or something else which would be required for them to be sold by themselves by law.
