Whole Foods Bar Food

I was wondering if anyone eats the soups/chilis at whole foods on the bar, it clearly list wheat on the bottom if their soups contain wheat, like the chili does not appear to have any gluten ingridients would it be safe to eat it? Does anyone eat there?

I eat there all the time...I trust the ingrediant lists, if it doesn't say wheat and the rest of the ingrediants look acceptable, I see no reason why you couldn't have it...unless you have some other allergy...however, i'm sure some people wouldn't touch it because they don't trust it, it's really up to you!

I don't eat them because I worry about getting CC'd. People aren't very cautious about whether the soup containing gluten drops into the "safe" chili.

It is a personal choice...how sensitive are you? I'd rather be safe than sorry.

There is a shrimp bisque that I get at the Whole Foods by me that is fabulous. I'm slightly more hesitant about getting stuff in the general salad bar, but I feel safe getting the soups if there is clearly no wheat ingredients in them.

Yeah, I eat it. It's never given me problems.

But....I was there for lunch a couple weeks ago, and an employee was taking the temperatures of all the items in the salad bar. She stuck the thermometer into brownies, wiped it off with a dirty paper towel, then stuck it into one of the wheat-free salads. I don't know if they do the same thing with the soups, but it was pretty gross.

I think it's luck of the draw - I ate once at Whole Foods and felt fine and was so excited... Next time, sick as anything. I won't eat there again. The convenience is never worth it, to me.

I have eaten at almost all the Boston area Whole Foods at one time or another. I love the carrot-ginger soup and the squash soups. Never had a problem.
