Whole Foods goal is to offer consumers quality food, with an emphasis on fresh, organic, sustainable and non-GMO products. What I love about Whole Foods is that you can purchase ANYTHING in the entire store with no concern that it will contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. I LOVE that!
Whole Foods has a quality standards for food to prohibit the use of artificial coloring, flavorings, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup and other specific ingredients. Whole Foods launched its first store in 1980. Now with about 370 stores this is a list of Whole Foods 10 most popular items among the Whole Foods exclusive brand (365 Everyday Value), ranked by dollar sales.
10 Most Popular Whole Foods Brand Products:

2) 365 Everyday Value Organic Whole Milk, $5.69, gallon

As you know I eat gluten free and organic. I find Whole Foods prices to be competitive or better than other traditional grocery stores and specialty stores and even better than some online prices when you consider shipping. I had the opportunity to try all of these products and I have to say that the quality was equal to name brands or other store brands if not better! The prices for the organic meat and chicken blows me away!
Whole Foods offers a product guarantee. If you purchase a product that does not meet your satisfaction you can exchange it for the full product value. I love this especially when purchasing organic, natural and gluten free products. There is no concern about trying a new brand when you purchase it at Whole Foods because they will refund your money if you are not satisfied. That is a great thing when trying a new gluten free product for sure!

March 28, 2014 at 11:15 amI do my best to buy organic and non GMO foods whenever possible. I think that if all grocer’s would keep up with the standards that Whole Foods has, then it would be more affordable to those with a smaller grocery budget.
I do love the price of the organic chicken breast, that is very comparable to other stores I shop at!
