This review is taken from the 2012 edition.
A bedazzling array of healthy, natural and organic produce that feels like a detox just walking around. Whole Foods Market is a welcome windfall for the hundreds of carefully chosen suppliers they use, from cheesemakers – nibbling the samples at the cheese counter could be an all-day affair – brewers and scallop-divers to pig farmers. But there are also a lot of air miles spread over the shelves. And be careful what you scoop up. The trolley tally may knock you for six but yes – dammit! – those mini organic bite-size brownies do taste so much better than bog standard supermarket fare. You can also eat-in and try such delights as a tasty Tuscan soup and a chunky Mediterranean focaccia, or a delicious parmesan-crusted chicken, and sage-infused quinoa and sweet potato cakes.

I don't know whether this issue applies to WF's suppliers here, but it's an interesting question that the company is not asking!
