Whole Foods Market “Organic” food made in China !!!!
I was shocked to watch ABC I-Team news about your organic products. The show pointed out how you have been deceiving your customers for years including me. Your products stated certified organic Californian etc while it printed with small letters in the back Made in China. We all know the Chinese products are not certified organic by FDA and there is no way you can insist they are.

It’s back to …
It’s back to McDonald’s fries for me. At least I know no real potato – organic or not – was involved in their making !
First of all, …
First of all, Organic DOES NOT MEAN, no pesticides or chemicals, from China, USA, Canada, Mexico, Chili or anywhere else. This is marketing BS. If you can grow your own stuff its the way to go.
1 ) If you’re not …
1 ) If you’re not reading the label as a consumer, then you’re asking for trouble. We have labeling laws in this country for a reason. 2) I’d bet that “organic from china” is probably still has lower pesticide use than “non-organic from china” – if you want to compare apples.
I love your sense …

@ron42nm – And why …
@ron42nm – And why don’t you think the FDA has enough money? The gov has billions of dollars for war, but not for the FDA? WAKE UP! You’ve been brainwashed too long. BTW I’ve never demanded for my taxes to be cut. You LOST your bet.
I don’t see anyone …
I don’t see anyone up in arms over Trader Joe’s and they don’t tell you ANYTHING about their products because they buy most of their food from other manufacturers and put their name on it. And because they sell it cheaper than the original manufacturer they won’t reveal where it’s made, how it’s made or who it’s made by. Yes Whole Foods needs to come clean but people need to take responsibility for themselves.
@valleart – and I …
@valleart – and I bet you’re demanding your taxes be cut some more. The FDA doesn’t have nearly enough money or inspectors to inspect everything. Yes, blame Whole Foods and Walmart for trying to peddle deceitful products. Profits before safety every time.
California blend is …
California blend is just a name for carrots, cauliflower and broccoli. The stuff on the Old Country Buffet. Come on, people.
The key is to buy …
The key is to buy the locally grown produce that is IN season and not packaged in plastic. I always look to see where produce is grown before buying it – no matter where I am shopping.
