What began as the "deli" with a few cold cuts and pre-made salads has evolved into the Prepared Foods Department—a lively, warm and appetizing part of the store showcasing the creativity and culinary talents of our teams of chefs. Whole Foods Market stores offer an ever-changing variety of quick entrées, side dishes, soups, rotisserie grilled items, sushi and sandwiches—all made with natural ingredients.

The Prepared Foods area bustles—especially around the lunch and dinner hours. Many customers have shunned the burger joints and corporate cafeterias for the tasty and more healthful fare of dishes such as enlighted fried rice, earthy quinoa and couscous salads, and tangy sesame-crusted salmon. It's not fast food; it's good food that customers can pick up quickly.

We use no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or synthetic preservatives*. We do use expeller pressed oils, natural meats, and organic foods when available. And ingredients are clearly labeled, so you can make sure that our good food is good for you.
