Product quality

Chocolate fountain at the flagship Whole Foods in Austin, TexasWhile there is no FDA or USDA specific definition of natural foods, Whole Foods Market only sells products that meet their definition of natural: minimally processed foods that are free of hydrogenated fats as well as artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners and preservatives.[9]

Whole Foods has been criticized that its products may not be as progressive as they are touted to be. Author Michael Pollan has contended that the supermarket chain has done well in expanding the organic market, but has done so at the cost of local foods, regional producers, and distributors.[10] Parts of the debate have taken place publicly through a series of letters between Pollan and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey.[11]

Ronnie Cummins, national director of the United States Organic Consumers Association said Whole Foods simply uses the term "natural" as a marketing tool.[12] Whole Foods Market’s website details the company’s quality standards to provide clarity to customers about their criteria for selling food, dietary supplements, and personal care products.[13]

[edit] Environmental involvement
In May 1999, Whole Foods Market joined the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a global independent, not-for-profit organization promoting sustainable fisheries and responsible fishing practices world-wide to help preserve fish stocks for future generations. [14] Whole Foods Market was one of the first American companies to partner with the Marine Stewardship Council and continues to actively support their efforts in ensuring the sustainability of our oceans. The company first began selling MSC-certified seafood in 2000 and a growing selection of MSC-certified fish continue to be available.[15]

In 2006, Whole Foods Market became the only Fortune 500 company to offset 100 percent of its energy cost with the purchase of wind power credits.[16] A January 8, 2007, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report listed Whole Foods Market as the second-highest purchaser of green power nationwide, citing their actions as helping drive the development of new renewable energy sources for electricity generation. The EPA report showed Whole Foods Market using 463.1 million kilowatt hours annually to cover 100 percent of their total electricity from biomass, geothermal, small-hydro, solar and wind sources.[17]
