Nigeria’s Moppet Foods sets record, features on Walmart

Moppet Foods, Nigeria’s leading provider of natural and nutritious food solutions, today announced a landmark achievement with the launch of its diverse product line, including the highly sought-after Nutriblend, on Walmart.

This significant development positions Moppet Foods as the first Nigerian children’s food brand made from natural ingredients to be distributed by Walmart USA, a rare feat for African consumer goods.

“This marks a significant milestone for Moppet Foods as it expands its reach to a broader consumer base seeking wholesome and convenient meal options,” said Roberta Oyedotun, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Moppet Foods.

 “Penetrating the U.S. and global markets demonstrates Moppet’s unwavering commitment to making its natural and nutritious food solutions easily accessible.”

Oyedotun also expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, “We are thrilled to partner with Walmart, a retail giant committed to offering quality products to millions of families. We’ve gone from feeding one child in Lagos State, Nigeria, to nourishing thousands of children across continents. And we’re just getting started.

“Moppet’s entry into Walmart is a testament to what is possible when innovation, resilience, and purpose collide. From a mother’s kitchen in Lagos—concerned about chemical-laden baby foods—to the shelves of America’s largest retailer, Moppet’s journey embodies a new era of African excellence and global impact. This allows us to make our natural and nutritious food solutions, including our new product Nutriblend, more accessible than ever before. 

“This strategic expansion into Walmart represents a significant step in our market penetration efforts, bringing our nutritious offerings directly to where a vast number of consumers shop daily.”

Founded by Nigerian technologist-turned-food innovator Roberta Oyedotun, Moppet Foods transforms local, biofortified crops and upcycled ingredients into premium cereals and fruit-based peanut spreads that meet international standards of nutrition, safety, and sustainability.

“Moppet Foods is dedicated to crafting delicious and healthy food products made with natural ingredients,” Oyedotun affirmed. 

“Our commitment to quality and nutrition aligns perfectly with the growing consumer demand for healthier eating choices. This is not just our win—it is Nigeria’s win. We are proving to the world that Africa can nourish its own and the world—ethically, sustainably, and proudly.”

In addition to Walmart, Moppet Foods products are also available at a wide range of other retailers, including Market Square, Jendol, Spar, Globus, Blenco, Temple Hill, Justrite, Everyday, Hypercity, and Sahad Stores.
