Whole Foods has expensive food, together with a lot of outrageous health claims, but it's the industry black sheep in terms of health and sanitation.

There also have lots of issues with sanitation in their stores, especially given the volume they move from their salad bars.
I'm hoping that the Amazon acquisition will lead to some much needed professionalization and normalization of their supplier requirements and processes, but we'll see.
