Maggots found in Whole Foods meat case, health officials say they’re not moving fast enough to fix the problem
Whole Foods claims to be “America’s Healthiest Grocery Store,” and that they, “maintain the strictest quality standards in the industry.” Such claims might start to be questioned, however, after a disgusting discovery at one of their San Francisco locations on Monday, April 21. Last week, KRON 4 News exclusively reported that maggots were found in a meat case. Now, KRON 4 News is reporting that the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) claims Whole Foods hasn’t worked quickly enough to fix the problem. Beyond that, the grocery store can’t seem to keep its story straight as to what actually transpired.
When the story was reported last week, KRON was told by the SFDPH that Whole Foods told them that all they found was one dead maggot. That conflicted with what KRON had heard from Whole Foods employee, Marc Melancon. Mr. Melancon, who is a meat clerk, told the station last week, “I can actually see maggots underneath the plastic right near the meat that I was selling, inside the case…it was pretty bad.” After KRON started to look into the matter, Whole Foods changed its story.

LOL! I read that title and was wondering why the health officials thought the maggots weren’t moving fast enough!
I did too. I really did. I thought that maggots were acceptable to a point as long as they are slow.....I swear I did by reading the title.
Maggot prods?
San Fransicko ...

Where do you find fast maggots?
But hey! It’s organic!
Not moving fast enough? How fast should a maggot go?
That’s what I thought too!
LOL!
I actually read that in the voice of Captain Harris from ‘Police Academy’. I kid you not.
