Whole Foods

I have to agree with the earlier review. I cannot purchase fresh fish or meat at this location. See the pictures that I posted, prepared food containing wheat and gluten products in both the sea food and meat cases that is always either touching or evidence of actual contamination on the fresh meat next to it. I brought this gluten contamination issue to the store's manager and she told me they "cannot guarantee gluten free on any of their fresh fish and meat departments"! And that I should ask them to get my selection from the back. That's all well and good, but the scales and prep areas are still contaminated.

This wasn't gluten related I don't believe, but minutes after eating "fresh" red snapper I because extremely ill, not being able to hold down dinner. I made a call to the store and I was then contacted by a third party, apparently I was the only one who got sick eating their red snapper that night.

If you have celiac, be extremely cautious when buying fresh meat and fish from this location.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Compared to other whole foods not that GFfriendly

They have a cafe area with labels for the food. It’s a self serve kind of thing so not the best for cross contamination. Only a few options were gluten free but enough to make a meal out of it. If going to get a meal with a group, this is still a good option since the store is large and has the typical Whole Foods variety. I mostly thought it would be helpful to add a review so this location shows up for others looking for food around here.

As a European resident visiting this store is amazing! So many gf options! Not only all the fresh items and produce, but dried goods, packages, quick/ready meals. Wonderful! Everything is stacked on the shelves with the rest of those items (no separate gf section) which I like too. I can shop for the whole family at the same time, not everyone else… and then me.

I hate coming here because it’s so big. You would think they would have gobs of gf stuff, but they have little and it is spread out everywhere and side by side with gluten counterparts. Please keep my gf stuff AWAY from the gluten stuff. I spend way too much time trying to find everything, and I feel like compared to Sprouts or Natural Grocers that they have the least knowledge employees and the HIGHEST prices. I also would never eat something from their lunch area because it’s a mess. No way I'm chancing that.

Don’t go out of your way thinking they will have GF food. It’s slim pickings. Among the fewest grocery options I’ve seen in a Whole Foods.
