ABC 7 I-Team Investigates: Organic Foods

We recently came across an investigation on ‘organic’ products sold by Whole Foods that are from China. Since rules on organics are pretty stringent here in the US, this investigator asks questions about how do we know products from China are actually organic. The results may surprise you.

Watch the video and judge for yourself. From now on, you may want to read the small print on packaging from your organic foods. Even though this investigation focused on Whole Foods, it makes sense to check your organic food origin anywhere you purchase organics. When you pay for ‘the best’, you want to make sure you receive it. Let your feelings be known to your grocer.

There are several Whole Foods locations in the Phoenix area. To find a location nearest you, go to Whole Foods Market.

Sprouts also has a lot of organics available. See their locations at Sprouts. You can also sign up for their weekly sales ad to come right to you via e-mail.

Another favorite for purchasing organics is Trader Joe’s. Find their locations at Trader Joe’s.
