Thank you Publix for hearing us and letting us know which Greenwise products are NOT 100% Organic.
"GreenWise stands for goodness.
We all believe in good, whether that’s how you eat, how you feel, or how you want to feel. That’s why all GreenWise products meet ONE or more of these strict requirements:
- USDA Organic
- Made with at least 70% organic ingredients
- Made without the specific preservatives, flavors, and colors listed at publix.com/the list; products may contain colors from natural sources.
- Raised without antibiotics or added hormones;* all GreenWise meats are fed a 100% vegetarian diet
- Nonfood products that make an environmental claim on the package
- FROM: https://www.publix.com/products-services/greenwise"
I picked up a package of the Ravolis the other day and since it said Greenwise I mistakenly assumed it was organic. Then I read the package!
Ingredients
pasta (durum wheat flour, eggs, water), filling (ricotta [whey, milk, cream, vinegar], spinach, bread crumbs [wheat flour, yeast, salt], whey, romano cheese made from cow's milk [pasteurized cultured milk, salt, enzymes], chicory root fiber, organic sunflower oil, water, mozzarella cheese [pasteurized cultured milk, salt, enzymes], 2% or less of: potato starch, dehydrated potatoes, Parmesan cheese [pasteurized milk, cultures, salt, enzymes], salt, garlic).
The key here is "GreenWise products meet ONE or more of these strict requirements:" (see the list above)
This is not even GMO free!!!! . The only Organic ingredient is the Sunflower oil, however it meets Publix's listed criteria that ONE item is organic.
I want to say, shame on you Publix!!
To me this is about misleading your customers, by wording things in a way to infer your benefiting the consumer, since some of the green wise ingredients may be organic.
I feel so very disappointed by your lack of integrity. You use to be a store that was proud of what it offered, balancing fair pricing and quality products.
I know you are not alone during this difficult time. However you have always stood out among the others offering, honesty, integrity, and quality products at fair prices.
It appears to me you have hopped on the GREED DRIVEN BANDWAGON. You have lost customers respect and there is even groups online asking people not to shop at your stores.
I hope the new blood and new ideas you think are so great, are not your demise. It's only so long you can fool the public with an image that your father created and sadly seems to be fast sliding into the abyss.
People are paying attention, now if only you could get back to the wonderful customer service you have been known for in the 40 loyal years I have been shopping at your stores. I think you have a chance of earning peoples respect back.
