Whole Foods Cheats?

the real ch3: Good. F--- Whole Foods and anyone that shops there

Thanks.

Since that seemed unduly harsh, I read the article. What did the "inspectors" really find?

"They found every label was inaccurate, with many overcharging consumers."

Note the careful weaseling. "Every label was inaccurate." The weight of vegetable products could vary with watering, evaporation, even growth (as in the case of still-growing sprouts). And a scale, yes, may become a little off between calibrations. Lots of possibilities for relatively insignificant error.

That every label, when the inspector weighed them, is not the same as when they were packaged is just not surprising. It's an appoximation. For a control, do the same thing at all other grocers. Oh, wait, they did that and found the same thing 77% of the time.

The telling part would seem to be "many overcharging." Not most products. Many. So, the majority were undercharging? By how much overcharged is not said, either.

And was this taken up with the company's management as a possible oversight before smearing their rep in public?

This smells like a witch-hunt to me. But most things do.
