The recall is due in part to fears over Listeria contamination.
Whole Foods Market is announcing a recall cold smoked and sliced Whole Catch Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (UPC:99482 40880 0) in 18 states, including Massachusetts.

Commercial space on the Route 110 corridor opens the possibility.
With space cleared for development on the Route 110 corridor, opinions are flying on what kind of businesses should move in. Whole Foods has been mentioned -- especially in social media circles -- though no firm plans are in place. Sometimes I don’t have strong opinions either way about the Mom’s Talk question of the week, but this week, I can answer with a resounding “OH YEAH!” Why would I like to see a Whole Foods in Westford? Well, mainly because I like to shop there, and it’s a long drive to the Whole Foods in Bedford where I currently shop. Whole Foods has awesome organic choices, staples you can buy from their bulk section, and tons of locally grown and produced food choices. And their prepared food area is a delicious and healthy …

As much as I love the thought of a WF here, tons of residents will be in jail, fined, or will have moved out long before 2016 if the bylaw passes. If WF wins, it's an indictment of our collective American Jersey Shore/American Idol stupidity. more ›
