Re: Whole Foods Market, Inc.
The undersigned, a person subject to ownership reporting pursuant to Section

and requirements pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as

attorney-in-fact with full power and authority (1) to make and file on my
behalf any reports or statements of beneficial ownership or changes of
beneficial ownership, including Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to these
forms, which I may be required or permitted to file under the Exchange

This authorization is effective until further notice.
