Evidence summary
What the Whole Foods data means.
Whole Foods has 21 product records in the current NonToxic.com database, spanning 3 categories: Baby Products, Dairy Products, Food Products. The average score of 9/100 is useful for screening, but shoppers should still inspect product-level records because packaging, processing, test year, and contaminant fields can vary inside the same brand.
The current evidence mix for Whole Foods is 20 high confidence, 1 limited confidence. Source labels represented on this page include samples.tsv (20), Not specified (1), and test-year labels include 2024 (20), Not specified (1). 21 records still need a more specific source URL and 1 records still need a normalized test year, so these items should drive brand transparency requests before any broad safety claim is made.
For practical review, start with Whole Foods Non-Organic Broccoli, the lowest-scoring Whole Foods item currently listed, then compare it with Whole Foods 365 Organic Baby Formula, the strongest-scoring item in this brand set. If both products sit in the same category, use the category page to compare competing brands; if they sit in different categories, treat the brand score as a portfolio signal rather than a direct product substitute.
How to use this brand page.
Use this page to decide what to inspect next, not to label every Whole Foods product safe or unsafe. A brand with one listed product has a narrow evidence base, while a brand with many products may mix lower-concern records with elevated or highest-concern records. The most defensible workflow is to open the product page, read the source row, compare the category alternatives, and submit a correction if a newer lab report or packaging disclosure changes the evidence.
