The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently nailed Whole Foods for filthy, injurious conditions at a plant in Massachusetts that prepares ready-to-eat foods for the high-end supermarket chain. East coasters who rely on Whole Foods' ready-to-eat meals to live are going to want to rethink their strategy for a while. Whole Foods pushed back on the FDA letter, and said that they've addressed the violations. "We were honestly surprised,” said Ken Meyer, executive vice president of operations for Whole Foods Market, in a statement. The letter also alleges that employees didn’t take breaks to wash their hands or change gloves between handling foods and packaging them into bulk cartons.
