Co-op Food is a brand used for the food retail business of The Co-operative Group in the United Kingdom.
Prior to reintroducing the brand in 2016, the group used "The Co-operative" branding, which is still used by a number of consumers' co-operative societies in the UK. Other societies use their own branding.
In 2016, the Co-operative Food accounted for approximately 6.6% of the UK groceries market.List of UK Co-operatives with food retail operations
