Departments

Produce Department

Our produce looks better because it is better. One reason we devote so much space to produce is because of our commitment to organics — products grown without the use of persistent and toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers. No one in the world sells more organic produce than Whole Foods Market.

Bakery Department

In our Bakery, you’ll find crusty, European style hearth breads, pastries and desserts baked fresh daily with the highest quality, all-natural ingredients.

Meat Department

Visit our Meat Department for meat and poultry raised without antibiotics or preservatives, on diets free of animal by-products.

Seafood Department

Our Seafood is delivered sparkling fresh from the boat to your cart in mere hours. The seafood we sell is always free of sulphites and artificial preservatives.

We’re Not Seeing Red

Oh buoy! As of Earth Day 2012, we no longer carry red-rated wild-caught fish in our seafood departments! It’s our way of supporting our oceans and helping to reverse overfishing trends.

We give you the whole story on the wild-caught fish we sell. Wild-caught seafood from fisheries certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is the top choice for sustainability and we offer the widest selection available.

We display the color-coded sustainability ratings of our partners, Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) and Blue Ocean Institute (BOI), on all wild-caught seafood that’s not certified by MSC to help customers make informed choices. And we only carry green- and yellow-rated choices. Red ratings typically suggest that the fish is overfished or caught in ways that harm other marine life or habitats.

We promised to eliminate all wild-caught seafood from red-rated fisheries and we did it—ahead of our deadline. We’ve always been on the leading edge with our commitment to responsibly caught seafood. Years ago we stopped selling species that were extremely depleted in the oceans, such as orange roughy, shark and bluefin tuna.

We will no longer sell the following red-rated species:

• Atlantic Halibut
• Grey Sole (Atlantic)
• Octopus (all)
• Skate Wing
• Sturgeon
• Swordfish (from specific areas and catch methods rated “red” by our partners)
• Tautog
• Trawl-caught Atlantic Cod
• Tuna (from specific areas and catch methods rated “red” by our partners)
• Turbot
• Imported wild shrimp
• Rockfish (only certain species)
