If the concern is about liability for food contamination, would it be possible if the containers were first sanitized by a germicidal ultraviolet lamp or something?

I would shop at whole foods if this were permitted at my location. Since it's not, I'll shop at trader Joe's cause it's cheaper.

It’s important that ALL Whole Foods allow customers to use their own reusable containers

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest environmental threats of our time. We must do everything we can to stop single-use plastics from entering our waste stream and waterways.

There are so many ways we should be encouraging the reduction of waste and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

I can’t even believe WF stopped letting people bring their own containers. Moving backwards just as zero waste living is gaining steam! Stay relevant WF!

Since going lower impact/ zero waste, stores that do not allow me to use my containers have been nixed from my shopping routine; meaning my weekly shopping no longer occurs at whole foods. We should all strive to do better!

Whole Foods, of all places, shpuld be moving away from single-use plastics. Instead, we are seeing a regression.

Contaminating the earth with more and more plastic packaging is foolishness. 2p years ago, people could bring their own containers to shops. They din’t have half the diseases that happen now due to plastic contaminating our soil and water.

Buying dry produce/salad, veg & fruit with no packaging or reusable / easily recycleable containers would make a massive difference

Your policy is so confusing. Some stores allow it, some don't Just let us bring our own container already!
