Sneak Peek at New Stuff in Stores Now!
| Meet the Blogger | More Posts by Paige Brady Sometimes I get into a routine: I have my shopping list, I know what I need and I go directly to those items on the shelves. I bet some of you do that too. When we do that, though, how the heck are we going to find out about new products that might be the perfect missing link to a fabulous meal?
Well, I’m in a special situation. Since I work at the global office for Whole Foods Market, I get sneak peeks from our purchasing team on new and exclusive products coming up. And, as a reader of the Whole Story blog, you are in a special situation too, because I’m going to share those sneak peeks with you!
Without further ado, here is some of the great new stuff you’ll find in our stores in August. (For a bonus, I included some stuff that hit the stores in July!):
Green Valley Organic Lactose Free Yogurt and Kefir – currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Organicville Pasta Sauce — organic, gluten-free sauces from a family-owned business
Jovial “einkorn” ancient wheat pasta… unique, the next supergrain?
Popcorn Indiana Whole Trade Cocoa and Cinnamon Kettlecorn — extremely unique and delicious
365 Everyday Value Organic Soy and Almond Milks — only at Whole Foods Market.
Earth Balance Organic Soymilk – currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Ian’s Value Packs on Alphatot’s and Chicken Nuggets — great value pricing and currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Glutino Value Pack on Gluten Free pizza — great value pricing and currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Saffron Road Halal frozen entrées: the first line of certified Halal frozen entrées and currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Kind Bars: 6 new varieties — currently available only at Whole Foods Market
Three Sisters: New club-store sizes of these great cereals
EVOL Burritos: all natural, totally awesome burritos and mini’s — currently available only at Whole Foods Market.
Have you seen some of this new stuff in your local store already? If so, let us know what you think. If not, keep an eye out and give something new a try!

Will you carry the new Tofurky vegan pizzas? I shop at Whole Foods in San Diego, and have not seen them there.
Thanks very much for all the wonderful vegan items you do carry.

Great to see the 365 Soy and Almond Milk, will definitely pick that up next time I go!

Have tried the Green Valley plain yogurt and find it tastes better than the other plain yogurt in that the taste is not as tart-also very few grams of sugar which is great for those watching sugar intake.
Use it with cinnamon for a great snack and treat!!!!

I LOVE that you're sending out an email announcing "new stuff." I, too, tend to go into my Whole Foods and just get what's on my list (with the addition of a few impulse items). Keep it up!!!!

<i><b>@Alexandra</b></i> - the new Larabars are at some locations, I've seen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Carrot Cake.. I know there's also Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip but haven't seen it on the shelves yet, but I would imagine certain locations will have it also
<i><b>@Annie Ross</b></i> - i haven't seen a nonfat, but there is a "Lite" 365 Soymilk
<i><b>@Michele Hegedus</b></i> - the Tofurky pizzas are on the shelves at select locations, they just started coming in

The addition of Saffron Road is amazing. I have been waiting for hi quality halal entrees for years. Another reason to shop Whole Foods. Impeccable timing on getting it out in time for Ramadan.

I just found the 365 Organic Almondmilk last week, and I was so excited! Not only is it less expensive, it is organic, unlike the other brand I had been buying. I always look for and buy the 365 brand whenever possible. Thank you!

SO excited about the halal products! It's about time :) - I hope this is just the start of more halal stuff to come.

Very excited about the Saffron Road halal entrees!!! Been waiting for a halal organic product to be mainstreamed for years. Thank you Whole Foods!
08/16/2010 6:35:43 AM CDT
I can't wait to try your saffron road entrees.
08/16/2010 2:18:09 PM CDT
Just checked Whole Foods in Abington, PA: No Saffron Road products, yet. Please distribute asap, can't wait to try it!

Thank you for bringing Organic Halal products like the Saffron Road line. I hope to see Organic Halal meat and poultry from Whole Foods too. It is the epitome of healthy, humane and environmentally conscious choice! I'm telling everybody to support this!
08/17/2010 10:26:10 AM CDT
Thank you for carrying Saffron Road halal foods!! I will definitely be picking up those entrees soon.

Thank you for adding Saffron Road entreés to the frozen section. I'm so excited to try them out. Well done!!
08/18/2010 1:52:00 AM CDT
Thank you so much for adding the Saffron Road items to the frozen entreés selection. Having Halal options at Whole Foods will ensure I keep coming back again and again.

Thank you very much for including halal entree items from Saffron Foods. It would be great if Whole Foods could also carry halal meat, poultry and fish.
Thanks again!

Thank you for carrying HALAL products. Whole Foods is my number one choice for produce and all! My only gripe is that the nearest store is about 20 miles away!! Consider opening a store in North Orange County,California. In the Fullerton, La Habra area. I'm PTA President at my son's school. It comes up time and time again at PTA meetings that we all wish for a Whole Foods near us! Or a Trader Joe's. So, here is a huge market waiting for a store. Liked the lunch box school reminder on healthier choices for lunch.

Finally! Halal organic foods yummm! Thank you for taking the chance in providing this :) Very much appreciated!
08/22/2010 1:26:45 PM CDT
Thank you, Wholefoods, for providing halal foods. I'm looking forward to my next shopping trip to Wholefoods!! I can't wait to share the news with my friends and family.

Please bring Saffron Road halal entrees to the Whole Foods in Jacksonville, FL.

Peace and blessings. What a win-win situation! The best quality of meat & ingregients possible teaming up with one of, if not the best, organic/natural market chains around! Now, what would truly make this a continuous winning Dynasty, would be to have Halal/Zabihah/Tayyib meat and poultry there as well. But, you have to crawl before you can walk.

Do you know of a gluten free tofurky
10/09/2010 9:26:25 PM CDT
@Cathy Cathy,
Unfortunately, tofurkey does not come in a gluten-free form. For those eating a gluten-free vegetarian diet, we suggest serving a loaf with vegan gravy for a holiday entrée. Here are a couple of suggestions for you:
Celebration Lentil Loaf
http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2808
Quinoa Loaf
http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2672
We have an extensive selection of gluten-free holiday recipes here: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/holidays/recipes/glutenfree.php
Many of these are vegetarian as well. I think these make a wonderfully celebratory presentation: Wild Rice Stuffed Mini Pumpkins
Hope this helps!

Halal frozen meals ... now we are talking. Halal meat just tastes better. Thank you Whole Foods for introducing these and I hope you get more halal products in the store.
