Meat Raised to the Highest Standards — Ours

By working in partnership with outstanding meat and poultry producers, Whole Foods Market brings you the best tasting, freshest and most wholesome, naturally raised meat available. We offer a wide variety of meats including game, duck, sausages, low fat cuts, range-grown turkey and natural chicken. We make meals easy by creating oven-ready meals, stuffed meats and kabobs. And many of our stores feature a full service Meat Department where customers receive custom cuts, cooking instructions and personal recommendations.

Industry Leader

Whole Foods Market is proud of our role as a leader in the natural meat industry. By working with our knowledgeable and passionate meat and poultry providers as well as with forward thinking humane animal treatment experts, we have been able to champion innovative production systems that not only improve the quality and the safety of the meat we sell, but also support humane living conditions of the animals. We believe that working with producers toward positive improvements creates an environment in which real change can be achieved.

Committed to Food Safety

Whole Foods Market is committed to ensuring the safety of the products we offer our customers. Routine microbiological testing is conducted on our meat and poultry products, and, to be as thorough as possible, we also test the feed used by many of our producers for animal by-products and bacterial counts. To enhance the regular Health Department audits, Whole Foods Market works with independent inspectors to verify that our storage and handling procedure are sound. We will continue to improve our food safety programs to bring you, our customer, safe, great tasting products.
