Explanation of Responses:

1. On October 12, 2021, 8,275 shares of United Natural Foods, Inc. (the "Company") restricted stock units ("RSUs") vested. The Company retained 3,774 shares on that date to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting.

2. RSUs convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, there was no purchase price paid by the reporting person.

3. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon vesting in accordance with the terms of the reporting person's restricted stock unit agreement.

4. This RSU award was granted on October 12, 2020 and vests in three equal installments beginning on October 12, 2021. This Form 4 reflects the vesting of this RSU on October 12, 2021 as to 1/3 of the original grant amount.
