Whole Foods Class Action Settlement FAQs

Common questions about this class action settlement.

Which products were covered?

The 12 ounce canister of 365 Organic Hot Cocoa Rich Chocolate Flavor Mix and the 365 Everyday Value version of the same product, bought at Whole Foods Market in California between November 3, 2017 and March 13, 2025. Other sizes and other 365 products were outside the class.

Why was the class limited to California?

Consumer protection claims are usually brought under state law, and a class certified under California law covers California purchases. Buyers elsewhere were not compensated by this settlement even where they bought the same canister in the same years.

Was proof of purchase required?

No. Claims could be filed without receipts. Whole Foods shoppers who used an account at checkout could often pull a purchase history if the administrator queried a claim, but nothing had to be attached at filing.
