*Whole Foods sells it's own brand of plastic wrap that is PVC and phthalate free, which they themselves state is the "best choice for conventional plastic wrap". So why are they using PVC wrap on their cheeses and meats?
*A 1999 NY TIMES article, ( http://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/13/dining/eating-well-plastic-wrap-and-health-studies-raise-questions.html ) wrote:
"Whole Foods Markets, a chain of 87 natural food supermarkets across the country, is not waiting for Government action. It is asking manufacturers of the cling wrap used in their stores directly whether the products contain DEHA, said Margaret Wittenberg, the quality assurance director."
So what happened after they asked? They decided to use it any way?
I love Whole Foods Markets and am grateful for the choices they offer me with regard to organic foods. Help them become even better by saying "NO to PVC Cling Wrap!" I have faith that Whole Foods will make the change if they know what it means to loyal customers like us.

ive been looking through the comments and seeing so many people mention they also noticed this in their local stores. it really shows that this isnt just a problem at one location and we need to keep pushing for changes across the board.

this is getting way more attention than i ever thought it would. it feels like people are finally starting to pay attention to how our food is wrapped. im so stoked to see this momentum building.

Do better Whole Foods. We pay the extra prices specifically to avoid this kind of toxic junk.
Honestly keep the chemicals away from our food. Especially when you claim to be natural. Pretty disappointed right now.
