If you have food allergies, it may not be the store for you.
Health can be the focal point of its brand, but the grocery chainWhole foods has less track record less than ideal when it comes tofood safety. The company was reprimanded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this month, in a letter claiming that the grocer has a dismal food selling scheme.
The warning letter, addressed to all co-founder foods and CEO John Mackey, indicates that the company has issued more than two dozen reminders due to undeclared food allergens over the past year.

"These reminders demonstrate that your company engaged in a reception scheme and offering for sale Misbranded food products. For the period from October 2019 to November 2020, your company recalled 32 food products due to undeclared allergens. We have noticed similar schemes. Many reminders of allergens not declared in previous years, "the letter reads, according toFood security news.
Grocery products are required to declare all allergens on its product labels under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.

The FDA draws entire foods responsible for the investigation and the determination of the causes of each violation, as well as to ensure that similar violations are prevented in the future. The grocer has 15 working days to answer the agency.
A representative of all foods saidEat this, not that! The company remains committed to maintaining the highest quality standards in the industry. "The whole food market takes food security very seriously.
