ByThe Whole Foods Return Policy Made Simple With DoNotPay
Whole Foods Market is committed to customer satisfaction across its entire range of products, from avocados to zucchini squash.
As with any retailer, Whole Foods has rules and policies on what you can return and how to do it.
DoNotPay is here to help you understand the Whole Foods return policy and return your product as quickly and easily as possible.
The Whole Foods Return Policy Explained
Depending on the type of product you bought, Whole Foods offers different return periods you can take advantage of:
| Type of Product | Product Category | Return Period |
| Perishable goods | Fresh produce | No returns allowed |
| Meat, seafood, and prepared meals | Before the expiration date | |
| Non-perishable products | Within 90 days of purchase | |
| Electronics | Within 30 days of purchase | |
You will need to provide a receipt, and all tagged items should have their tags intact.
If the product you bought was perishable and is spoiled, damaged, or defective but within its expiry date, you are allowed to exchange it in-store for a similar product only.
If your product is non-perishable and conforms to the company’s refund policy, Whole Foods will give you a refund either by reimbursing the payment method you originally used or by giving you a gift card.
