A settlement has been reached with Whole Foods Market in a lawsuit concerning the packaging of its "365 Organic Hot Cocoa Rich Chocolate Flavor Mix" and "365 Everyday Value Organic Hot Cocoa Rich Chocolate Flavor Mix." The lawsuit alleged the 12 oz cannisters contained non-functional empty space (also known as "slack-fill"), which misled consumers about the amount of product they were purchasing. Whole Foods Market denies all allegations and any wrongdoing. The settlement applies to products purchased in California between November 3, 2017, and March 13, 2025.

Our mission is to help people get the compensation they deserve. We are providing this information and a direct link to the official site to ensure you don't miss out on money you may be owed. However, this will mean that claims submitted for this settlement will not be reviewed, monitored, or have additional support from ClaimsHero.
No. For this claim, we are directing you to the official claims administrator website. There are no fees from ClaimsHero. This is different from our full-service representation campaigns, where we work on a contingency basis, review and monitor the status of your claim, and only get paid if your claim is successful.
Our goal is to raise awareness and guide you to the official claims website. We do not review your claim, handle your documents, monitor the status of your claim, contact you if there are any needed revisions or updates, or represent you in this specific matter. Our goal is to ensure you are provided a path to make your claim.
You must file your claim directly on the official settlement website, which is managed by the court-appointed claims administrator. The only place to submit your claim is through the link provided above.
All questions about your claim must be directed to the claims administrator. Because we simply provide a path to the claims administrator’s website to submit, our support team does not have access to your submission details. You can find their contact information on the official website through the link provided above.
If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to our support team for detailed assistance and guidance.
