They reference slavery and human trafficking, and say they investigate reports of it but don't audit their suppliers.
I don't have specifics but I think you could buy apples for 80 cents a pound, and everything else is just unbelievably cheap.
I'd buy a shopping cart full of vegetables and fruits for $30 which at Gelson's would easily cost 3-4 times as much.
I recently went from shopping at Gelson's in Orange County to shopping at El Super's in the Valley. The price difference in everything was shocking but the fruits and vegetables are unbelievably cheap.
