The Big Drug Chains: Selling Food or Poison?

Two major drugstore chains now sell more food than medicine—but what kind of food are they offering? Are they stocking shelves with healthy options, or are they loaded with toxic ingredients?

Which chain is the worst offender? With 13.8% of packaged foods in the U.S. containing harmful ingredients, how do these drug chains compare? The results will shock you.

WISEcode WatchOutsTM Code identifies 45 hidden ingredients in our foods which study conclude they harm humans.  Most of these ingredients are already banned in the EU and other countries.  Yet 13.8% of all packaged US food contains at least one of these poisons.  

Results: Battle of the Big Drug retailers – who sells us the most toxic SKUs? 

Walgreens vs. CVS

Not much difference.  Both CVS and Walgreens are both selling a lot of SKUs with toxic ingredients and both are much worse than the national average of 13.6%.  Aren’t drug chains supposed to be a place to start improving health?  Why are they both trying to kill us? Don’t the executives have kids? Don’t they care about their family health?
