A shopper in Roseville, California, picked up a bottle of ranch dressing at Whole Foods that she says she has been buying for years. She read what was written on the front before turning the bottle around to check the ingredients.
Content creator Sveta (@247sveta) filmed the moment and posted it to TikTok. The bottle is a 365 Organic Classic Ranch, a Whole Foods store brand. She says the front reads “made without canola or soybean oil.” The back appears to say otherwise.
“But if you look in the back, the ingredients, soybean oil and/or canola oil are the first two ingredients,” she says in the video. “So I’m a little confused. Whole Foods, what is happening?” She then asks, “Which label is true? Is any of it true?”
The Front And Back Didn’t Match
BroBible first reported the video. According to the outlet, Sveta also wrote in her caption, “This is clearly misleading labeling. What about allergies?” On screen, what a package promises and what it lists do not match. Sveta says she raised the issue in the store. “I brought this up to Management and he took the bottle from me and placed it back in the fridge,” she wrote.
@247sveta @Whole Foods Market why am I double checking ingredients? This is clearly misleading labeling. What about allergies? #food #ingredients #viral #wholefoods fyp. I brought this up to Management and he took the bottle from me and placed it back in the fridge.

The FDA says food labels cannot be false or misleading, including claims made on the front of a package. That matters here because the bottle shown in Sveta’s video says “made without canola or soybean oil” on the front, while its ingredient list names soybean oil and/or canola oil. That kind of packaging detail can be easy to miss until a shopper checks the label more closely.
Several commenters joked about the mix-up. One wrote, “The marketing department and the ingredients clearly had two different meetings.” Another wrote, “So the canola and soybean didn’t help make it. It was made totally independently without them. They’re just the main ingredient.”
Others pointed to allergies. One person wrote, “They should never lie about ingredients because people can be allergic to certain ingredients.”
Sveta says she shops at Whole Foods because she trusts the retailer more than other grocery stores. “I come to Whole Foods because I trust them over Safeway and over other grocery stores,” she says. “But this is not very cool.”
As of October 2, 2026, Whole Foods has not publicly explained the apparent discrepancy.
