Whole Foods accused of overcharging in NY stores
New York
THE New York Department of Consumer Affairs accused Whole Foods Market on Wednesday of overstating the weight of some prepackaged products sold in the company's stores in the city.
Tests of 80 prepackaged products bought in the company's nine New York stores showed that all were labelled with erroneous weights, the department said. In one case, the department said, consumers buying vegetable platters priced at US$20 each were overcharged an average of US$2.50. In another example, eight packages of chicken tenders priced at US$9.99 a pound on average cost US$4.13 more than they should have.
