Caputo & Guest Slashes Organic Mushroom Prices to Shield Shoppers from Import Tariffs
Caputo & Guest slashes prices on its full line of organic mushrooms by expanding domestic production to meet a 58.6% surge in demand over the last three years, offering retailers and consumers a 100% U.S.-grown, tariff-proof alternative to imported mushrooms.
KENNETT SQUARE, PA – April 11, 2025 – In a bold move to support U.S. retailers and health-conscious consumers, Caputo & Guest, the largest U.S.-based grower of fresh exotic mushrooms, has cut prices across its organic mushroom line. The price drop comes as part of a strategic expansion in domestic production designed to reduce America’s reliance on imported mushrooms—many of which have been quietly labeled as “Product of the USA” despite being grown in China and other Asian countries.
