Eater reports that the FDA has hit Whole Foods hard with a slew of violations. A sampling: mixing basil pesto directly under where some gross liquid was dripping from the ceiling (actually, there were a number of complaints about the ceiling drip), employees not washing hands between tasks, sanitizer being inadvertently sprayed onto leafy greens, equipment not properly cleaned, and more—detailed in this extensive list.
Whole Foods global vice president of operations Ken Meyer was surprised by the news, telling the Austin-American Stateman that the brand works closely with the FDA to stay on top of rules and regulations. The beloved brand released a statement saying they have already gone through all the appropriate steps to ensure the violations won't happen again.
