    IT'S ABOUT TIME WHOLE FOODS HAD TO FESS UP!!!

    1. Only we have to wait 5 years and it could kill us by then

  2. Laughable: so another 5 years to do GMO damage?

  3. Whole Foods should much more considerate of its consumers and not take FIVE years to label GMO's.
    Five Years is just UNACCEPTABLE!
    This news is not Wonderful Enough!

  4. WF currently has Non GMO foods in stock; their website has a 22 page list of them. Many of them are their 365 private label.

  5. Obviously Whole Foods does not care about its consumers.
    Waiting another 5 years for GMO Labelling is totally UNACCEPTABLE!
    What can be done to force GMO Labelling by Whole Foods ASAP?
    Perhaps people should STOP buying at Whole Foods until they get their act together!

    1. that is the only thing that will cause a recalculation.

  6. Hole Foods is joke they are labeling many years from now, so the say, come 5 years you will then see, if anything. It is time to get suckered in, as Hole Food goes kicking and screeming into labeling. There is no altruism or wishfull thinking on their part, their actions calculated for you.

  7. Five years is too long. Keep at them and have it done by the end of 2013 and the best thing that could happen is Monsanto goes out of business.

      I agree – 5 years is too long! Especially as Whole Foods is already labeling its GMO products in its European stores!
      Natural Society should join with organicconsumers.org in forcing Whole Foods to speed up the process.

  8. I stopped buying veggies at whole foods long time ago.

    GMO labeling is already happening for food shipped to Europe . This is a stall tactic for who knows what! We need to stop GMO not just label it! It is not sustainable, harmful to the environment and humans and can’t coexist with crops grown next to it without contaminating them . We are doomed if we allow this to happen . Monsanto and Sengenta own 56% of all seed companies in the world. Think about that!

    Surely you all understand that 5 years may seem like a long time to us. But to the companies out there who already have GMO's in their products because they are already everywhere it's probably not a lot of time. They have to research to find and remove and replace any and all GMO's products now used to produce any of the foods that are sold. Whole Foods is letting their suppliers know that their customer's want GMO's labeled and if they expect to have Whole Foods continue selling their products then they have to spend the time and money to change the foods that are already out there. In the meantime, Whole Foods does have non-GMO products for you to purchase. Anything labeled as Organic is already GMO free so you have alternatives until the labeling is done. At least they are trying for their customers. Other places don't seem to care at all and would rather not have GMO's labeled at all. Also they can't just tell their suppliers that tomorrow you have to be GMO free because it's not possible to research and change all their ingredients and recipes that quickly. Give them a chance and buy organic until the change takes place. There are lots of producers who will move as quick as possible to change their stuff over so they can be first in line to say they are GMO free. It will be a race among their suppliers so will probably be over quicker than 5 years anyway. I think it's wonderful that they have put a time limit on their suppliers and are GMO free themselves on lots of products already. LOVE THEM!!!!
