As the first national certified organic grocer, Whole Foods Market has 490 stores in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.

About Feeding Matters
For kids with pediatric feeding disorder, every bite of food can be painful, scary, or impossible, potentially impeding nutrition, development, growth, and overall well-being. Founded in 2006, Feeding Matters is the first organization in the world devoted to accelerating identification, igniting research, promoting collaborative care, and encouraging awareness and understanding for pediatric feeding disorder. In 2017, Feeding Matters reached more than 129,000 families and medical professionals from all 50 states and 112 countries.

Since 2014, Feeding Matters has leveraged its medical professional council and relationships with internationally renowned pediatric feeding experts to facilitate a groundbreaking consensus paper. Accepted for publication by the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition in October 2018, the paper declares a unifying name and stand-alone diagnosis for the broad spectrum of pediatric feeding struggles now treated as a symptom to over 300 other conditions, such as autism, cerebral palsy, and cystic fibrosis.
