The parent commenter referred to food items, not to the retail outlets where those items are purchased.

was refering to nestle, kraft.

even the most hipster eco hand made brands in wholefoods are most likely an off brand of nestle or uses their products as main ingredient and doesn't list it as such.

You mean hipster eco hand made brands like raw ingredients, such as Eggs, Vegetables etc.? Processed food is unhealthy for the most part anyways, so it is better to avoid it.
