FTC Hearing Updates

Our approach at Whole Foods Market is to be as open and transparent as reasonably possible. This section on our website is an outlet for the Company to proactively share information regarding the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) attempt to block our proposed merger with Wild Oats. We hope it will help our stakeholders understand Whole Foods Market’s position as we move though the legal process of challenging the FTC’s claims.

What Can I Do?
Many stakeholders have contacted us asking how they can voice their opinions to the FTC in support of the proposed merger. If you feel compelled, you may email them directly at antitrust@ftc.gov. Please remember, though, that the FTC has already made their decision and filed a lawsuit to block the merger, so the case will now be decided in court. |
