One case, the details are shoddy, was with some bad beef. There was a recall on some beef for some reason, and a lot of retailers were pulling their product. We didn't need to because our beef did not come from the same source (thanks to WF product quality standards), but we had that information released to the employees so that we would know what was going on in the industry... It said "Do Not Distribute" because it would be foolish for us to advertise a beef recall even though it has nothing to do with our beef! It's like advertising that there's a SARS problem in China while you're sitting in a hospital waiting room in New York- it can only cause panic! But it's good to have informed employees so that when customers come asking questions, we can accurately answer them.
I don't remember anything about any of our organic products being pulled... |
You work at WF? The one here in Houston? I have a question for you. It's kind of embarrassing, but I'll go ahead and give it a go. My friend got me into the whole organic shopping experience (she was tired of me living as a junk food veggie) and she always wants to eat a whole foods. Like sit down and eat. Do people do that? Is it normal?
