Whole Foods took some criticism for selling pre-peeled oranges in plastic packaging. A person's tweet went viral stating “If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn’t need to waste so much plastic on them.” Whole Foods quickly discontinued sale.
Not only does it create waste, but removing one of the best food safety packages around, the orange peel, the product becomes more susceptible to contamination.
#Orangegate? Whole Foods' pre-peeled oranges spark Twitter backlash
By Matt Naham
Whole Foods
prides itself as a grocery store that seeks "the finest natural and organic foods available," so one consumer was a little surprised
when she stumbled upon peeled oranges stored in plastic and marketed as fresh produce.
Nathalie Gordon took a picture on Thursday and tweeted it out with the sarcastic message, “If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn’t need to waste so much plastic on them.”
