Whole Foods pulls pre-peeled oranges off shelves after Twitter backlash

First World Problems.

(nydailynews) - Whole Foods listened to the numerous furious Internet users Thursday by removing pre-peeled oranges packed in plastic containers from stores.

The backlash began after Nathalie Gordon shared a photo of the fruit in a California Whole Foods on her Twitter page with the caption “If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn't need to waste so much plastic on them.”

Just three hours later, Whole Foods responded, admitting to Gordon that the decision to peel the oranges was a “mistake.”

“Definitely our mistake,” @WholeFoods tweeted. “These have been pulled. We hear you, and we will leave them in their natural packaging: the peel.
