Default Re: Whole Foods 365 Brand - Love it or hate it?
I'm in Washington DC this week, and we were flipping through the news and they just did a story on Whole Foods - the list of their instore brands coming from CHINA and not being really certified organic (QAI doesn't do any certifying in China, rather, they go through a 3rd party certifier there) and Whole Foods wouldn't comment. They had a printout from WF that was marked "Do not distribute" off all the China products...like the bulk of their products. And it's all right there on the very fine print on the packaging.

Somehow, organic and China don't really go together in my mind.
