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.

Sago Palm Grubs. Fat and Protein. And—listen up vegans!—you can gind up the Sago palm and use it for flour! They don’t grow in Kansas though. Guess I’m just stuck with beer, bread, and beef.

That meat could crawl overboard on its own.

Here’s the episode where he’s eating maggots found in a rotting marmot. I remember watching this on TV several years ago. He begins by explaining that you first bite the heads off and spit them out “because the heads taste disgusting...” LOL

I knew Maggots shopped there, but living there, I didn't know.

Maggots = Liberals.

Whole Foods has some good stuff.

If I insulted maggots by comparing them to liberals, I am sorry.

It looks like one Big MAGGOT is cheering a bunch of little maggots.

As if surprised at how sluggish *snirk* the little beasties are in the chilly air of a meat cooler?

Humm, just the heads?

A bit further on, he catches a fish, and rather than cleaning it with his Bear Gylls para-survival knife, he bites it to break its back and squish its insides out. Yum.

Teach a man to fish....
