Body Wellness: Would you buy organic food from China?

MarketYes organic foods cost more. But consumers take comfort from the fact that these foods are free from pesticides thereby promoting body wellness.

And organic farming is also supposed to be better for the environment.  Many, including myself agree that these benefits are well worth the additional expense.

With the FDA having so many problems with items being imported from China, including food items, the question is: Would you buy organic foods from China?

What if you were told that Whole Foods – the leading retailer of organic and natural food was sourcing a number of its products from China? Sadly, this is true. And quite frankly as a consumer I feel let down and disappointed.

Foods like Edamame Blanched Shelled Soybeans, Organic Broccoli Florets , Organic Asparagus Spears and get this – California Blend Vegetables – all sourced from China and being marketed under the Whole Foods Brand – 365 Organic.

I think that Whole Foods has some explaining to do.   ABC News has revealed some disturbing questions about the validity of the organic certification of these products.  Whole Foods continued silence on the matter is also very unsettling.

The bottom line: Buyer Beware – read your food labels, even on things that we once considered sacrosanct.

Have a look at this ABC News 7 I-Team Report to find out the full details of this story. Be sure to download the Whole Foods – Product of Origin document as well. And please share this information with your family and friends.

I would love to hear your comments regarding this story. Are you a Whole Foods customer and what are your feelings about “organic” foods from China being sold at Whole Foods?
