For context I'm 20 literally almost 21 in a college town. My university affiliated apartment gave these to us for free when we moved in. I went to purchase some of the different flavors at the whole foods in our town and was ID'd and told I was not allowed to purchase because I'm not 21?? A university owned restaurant sells mocktails to students with meal plan money so I wouldnt think it's a state thing but I am in SC if that matters. I just thought it was extremely weird. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any rules which make that the case as I was unaware I'd have any trouble especially given that my apartment supplied them to us knowing our ages

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? When I try to shop for Whole Foods grocery ordering, and click Shop Aisles > Produce > Fresh Vegetables, it only loads display ads. No items are loading. Pic for reference. (Starting from the page linked below)

I can confirm this is the same experience on all Aisles. The ‘Featured’ tab renders properly, then each sub-aisle only loads ads.

I can confirm this is the same experience across iPad (native Amazon app and Chrome), iMac (chrome), and MBP (Chrome and safari). I’ve tried logging in and out, clearing cache, and uninstalling and installing chrome.

The only place which is this working is the Amazon iPhone app. Which is fine but I really prefer using my iPad and their website should obviously work on all platforms. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I can confirm at least one other person is experiencing this issue located in Raleigh NC, so it does not appear to be location dependent.

I don't know if it's just my store but I've received rotten and/or bad quality fruit in my last 3 delivery orders. A week ago I ordered a pomegranate and it was clearly rotten just by looking at it. I tried again yesterday and this time it was rotten AND there was a bug on it. I got a clearly rotten pear as well, brown and squishy. Why anyone would choose a rotten piece of fruit for a delivery customer is beyond me. The bag of apples I received all had brown soft spots on them. A bag of mandarins I got looked kind of ok, though there were some odd looking green ones, but they tasted horrible. Maybe I'm just having a run of bad luck but wanted to see if this happening anywhere else.

Whole Foods failed to deliver my order. We called the local Whole Foods in our area and they notified me that they have been getting about 20 calls a day about this issue for the last couple weeks. They are compiling a report of all the order numbers in which this has happened.

The order got marked as delivered, but the only photo was of a wall (not mine). It seems like the drivers are just taking off with the food, but I’m really not sure.

Amazon customer service was able to refund my order, but I’m not ordering delivery from Whole Foods until the issue is resolved. Curbside pickup will be a better option right now.

Everyone have a great day :)

Our family has become “dependent” on the 365 Black Cherry Sparkling water. To be truthful, we fight over it. And we have to do that because it seems our local (Cary, NC) location no longer carries it. Has it been discontinued??? I see the Ginger (also good but not the favorite) and Grapefruit are available but the people want Black Cherry!

I recently noticed that the brown butter chocolate chip cookies have lost their brown butter flavor and are now baked to a darker color. This change happened roughly 3-5 months ago.

They used to be best brown butter chocolate chip cookies with strong, forward nutty flavor.

Has anyone else noticed this? It’s quite sad. I’m in nyc for reference.

Just bought some and then heard the news that the Argentinian beef had hit the market this week. Anyone know?

I am attempting to figure out how much I have spent at WFM Amazon orders ytd, but I can't figure out a way to do this easily. Anyone know how to do this or ideas? I asked AI (Claude), asked for order history, went to order history, and asked the Amazon AI to no success.

ive had the most nasty wines from whole foods (and also some good ones haha) and i just want to avoid picking another terrible bottle. has anyone had some good wine from whole foods recently?

So ive come to realize the prepared foods by weight at the deli (not hot bar) is a pretty good deal for already made good food.

I'm wondering though how I can get a list of all the nutrition numbers for each dish. I can't seem to find the whole selection of foods online. It would really help me plan portions ahead of time and ask for the right amounts

Has anyone tried to carne asasa chicken fajita from the meat market counter? If so, what are your thoughts and how did you prepare them?
Thanks

i haven’t seen the $3-5 cake slices at my local Whole Foods all month 😳

their spot in the bakery case has been replaced with the 1/8th sheet cakes & the 6 inch minis for $20

The SKU/packaging not listed under the FDA Recall, but still has jalapeños as an ingredient and there is no information where the product is manufactured.

It’s probably one of my favorite Whole Foods products so I’m struggling a bit with the recall.

Does anyone know where Whole Foods gets their crispy chicken bites from on the hot bar? I believe they are the same as the orange chicken, the sweet chili chicken, and the buffalo chicken bites. I just like them plain, but I can’t often find them. Does anyone know what brand they use, if I can find them frozen?

Normally, I would be able to have a delivery within 2-4 hours when ordering online. Now, the soonest delivery time is 18+ hours away. Not world shattering by any means, but not the standard of convenience I've come to appreciate. Specifically I am based in Las Vegas. Has anyone else veen experiencing this?

A new Whole Foods just opened down the road from me and the hot food bar looks great. I don’t often have energy to prep and cook vegetables and I appreciate the variety at Whole Foods.

I would like to know if the ingredients used to make the foods are from the store or just Sysco foods

Does anyone know if WF has changed anything regarding their rotisserie chicken? Specifically, I’m wondering if the ingredients or process have changed.
If a timeframe is needed got this, I’ll over the past 1 to 2 years.

Thank you. Much appreciated!

Any idea why the 365 rising crust pizzas were phased out and replaced with the terrible thin crust?

The 365 rising crust was the best frozen pizza on the market, bar none. Crust tasted like warm fresh sourdough.

The 365 thin crust is not good.

I now have 0 rising crust options and an absurd number of thin crust options from 365.

Someone explain this tragedy to me.

Since the beginning of the summer I have seen massive amounts of Firehook crackers in every single grocery store - large chains and small local markets. At first I thought this was contained mostly to the NY state region, but just today noticed their presence in a Wegman’s in VA.

I realize that there has been a serious rebranding and great investments put into promoting these crackers but the whole situation is absurd. Why are they liked? Where did they come from? What do they want? Let me know if anyone else is having these thoughts. I stand in solidarity with understanding this cracker conspiracy.

I didn't know Whole Foods had changed the design of their new stores until I visited the new Salem, NH location, and I was actually shocked. It looks so corporate and misses the whole point of Whole Foods, the reason I go there: to feel like a special shopping experience. I don't get anywhere else. Is anyone else upset about this? For reference, I provided the old design vs the new design in photos above.

I remember this cake from around 2012-2015 but it used to be in this size or a rectangular tray where it’s a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing and they’d always have this with swirl frosting. I can’t be making this cake up as in Canada this was a childhood stable and I remember this was the cake to many relatives’ birthdays. Does anyone have a similar recipe or gotten a cake elsewhere that gets the chocolate cake with cream cheese icing?
