– I’d love to send them a note

about this insane and hazardous new policy, but the link doesn’t work – says I

need to select a topic and to please try again. However, it’s not apparent how

to do so. Any advice? Thanks very much!

Best,

Whole Foods Cupertino has also removed ingredients

from the labels in the self-serve deli area. One of the managers told me

today that the Cupertino management and staff actively opposed it, but it is a

new national policy. In fact, the change had to be done before CEO

Mackey came to visit the store.

The manager also told me that if you look at the back of the label, the

ingredients are still there. This was one of the ways the staff was

getting around the national requirement.

He also advised contacting the headquarters in Austin and complaining about the

change. There is a customer service form at: http://www.wholefoo dsmarket. com/company/ contact_submit. php.

Tell the company how upset you are about the change and why, and be sure to use

the pull down menu to specify your local store. This will send a copy of

the email to the store team manager.

The only way we will get WF to change back is for enough of us to yell loudly

enough.

There are also WF and Mackey blogs that could be used to give them a piece

of our mind, though Mackey's doesn't seem to be active.

I was in a WF in Boulder, and I

was surprised to see that their deli section didn't list ingredients on the

labels -- just the name of the item. I mentioned this to a manager at a

WF in Sebastopol. He said that this is a system that WF is moving toward. He's

intensely opposed -- as I am, of course. This is something we should

speak up on, as often as possible.

I'm much less likely to buy deli items if they don't list ingredients.

This lack of information would be a serious deterrent to me, and my only

problem is gluten. For those who have other food problems, such as allergies to

corn or nuts, for example, this could be terribly serious.
