Go=to=organic grocer Whole Foods slammed by the FDA

The FDA recently published the letter it sent to go-to-organic grocer Whole Foods after inspectors visited a Massachusetts food manufacturing facility in February. The visit went poorly, to say the least.

The inspectors found more than 20 separate code violations, including workers failing to wash their hands between tasks, vegetables being prepared under a leaky drainage pipe and the presence of listeria-causing bacteria.

The company did respond to the violations in March, but the FDA did not accept the response because Whole Foods failed to prove it had corrected the problems.

The company insists it’s gotten back on track. Vice president Ken Meyer said that Whole Foods “opened our doors to inspectors regularly since February and worked with them to address every issue brought to our attention.”
