Whole Foods Says There’s No Evidence of Overcharging Violations

Whole Foods Market Inc. says it hasn’t seen any evidence that it overcharged customers at its New York stores and is “vigorously” defending itself against accusations from the city’s Department of Consumer Affairs.

Whole Foods had been working with DCA since December, but it abandoned the talks after the agency made “grossly excessive monetary demands” to settle the investigation, according to company spokesman Michael Sinatra.
