“As part of our annual operating planning review process, we have made the decision to discontinue Amazon Food,” a company spokesperson told Reuters.
“We don’t take these decisions lightly. We are ending these programs in a phased manner to take care of current customers and partners.”
The Economic Times earlier reported that the business would be discontinued from December 29 onwards, citing a communication from the company to its restaurant partners.
