Here is his response.... "I'm not aware of MSG being used a pesticide. I'd be happy to review any source of information that suggests otherwise. It is true that most of the corn and soy grown in the US is genetically modified. At Whole Foods Market, we believe that the most effective action we can take is to clearly label products that don't contain GMOs, and accordingly, we provide a number of options for shoppers looking to avoid GMOs: • Look for the thousands of organic products we carry as certified organic agriculture prohibits the use of GMOs in organic production and handling. • Buy our 365 Everyday Value and 365 Organic store brand food products; they are sourced to avoid GMO ingredients and many have been verified under the Non-GMO Project verification program. • Look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal on the many, many products currently on our shelves. We are working with our vendor partners every day to add more to our shelves. Each of our stores’ web pages has a shopping list of Non-GMO Project verified products carried in that store.

These variables differ from Region to Region and even store to store. It is not always the case that your local WFM charges higher prices for the same item, they may actually charge lower prices thanks to positive variables discussed above. @NewHorizon Prices are based on a number of variables such as demand, sourcing, and product travel.
