Planet Organic - Calgary

... sets you up for the rest of the day, with organic fairly traded coffee and organic ingredients in the snacks.

Despite my repeated communication with Planet Organic (conversation with manager, twice with staff, written feedback form), their locations continue to offer home-made meals that contain peanuts, and DO NOT label items so that the purchaser can SEE it.  I bought meatballs, scanned the ingredients (type set is way too small) through the glass case, fed them to my son and he had a major allergy attack in June 2015.  Two questions: why would you add peanut butter to meatballs? and, why would a heath food store put an allergen (and mould infested) ingredient in an otherwise healthy meal?  The same holds true for their meat loaf.  At the very least, there should be a big red sign warning customers.  I find this negligent, and if my son was any worse off I would have sued. I am writing this to warn others since it is obvious that after almost 2 years of talking to staff no one cares enough to prevent another customer from getting sick.

Love the selection of freshly made to go foods, small area to sit and enjoy or take home. Lentil curry wrap and the chickpea salads were delicious

The store has a nice fresh prepared food department and coffee with am nice area to go and sit and enjoy your purchases. Wednesdays they offer a free coffee to seniors that is absolutely delicious. Like the idea of doing general shopping and being able to stop for a bite to eat here.

I was hungry and very tired of eating out. As I was on vacation, I decided to stop at Planet Organic to see wha they had for prepared take out food. I had a lovely kale salad and some roast turkey. Delicious and worth the trip. Later on in the week I had a roast turkey sandwich on gluten free bread. And I topped it off with a hemp cookie. It all felt good for me and I didn't feel like I was eating out. After I ate I perused the store. While they were a little low on stock, I like the different kinds of food you can get there.
