The short answer
The registry records Whole Foods Market as a possible interpretation of WHOLEFDS MKT #89. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why is Whole Foods Market on my statement?
Unreviewed registry note: When you notice a WHOLEFDS MKT #89 descriptor on your bank or credit card statement, it signifies a retail grocery purchase processed by Whole Foods Market. This transaction corresponds to Whole Foods Market, covering in-store purchases or online delivery orders of organic groceries, fresh produce, specialty foods, baked goods, and natural household products from specific store locations.
Unreviewed registry note: Banks and payment networks frequently abbreviate merchant names and append store identification numbers to fit transaction character limits on monthly bank statements. Customers often see these formatted descriptors after shopping at physical retail supermarkets or ordering groceries online through integrated delivery platforms.
Unreviewed registry note: To confirm the validity of the purchase, compare the transaction date and charged amount against your physical store receipt or digital delivery order history. If you do not recognize the store number and never authorized the purchase, contact your financial institution immediately to report potential card fraud and request assistance.
Unreviewed registry note: Monitoring grocery expenses helps households track weekly food budgets effectively and prevents overlooked billing discrepancies.
What to do if you don't recognize it
Unreviewed registry note: Reviewing recent transaction logs or checking household purchase habits helps clarify unexpected supermarket charges quickly.
Can I dispute a Whole Foods Market grocery charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, if you believe the charge from Whole Foods Market is fraudulent or unauthorized, you can initiate a dispute directly with your credit card issuer. Make sure to first check with any joint account holders who might have made the purchase.
Does Whole Foods Market charge a holding fee?
Unreviewed registry note: In most cases, Whole Foods Market does not charge a holding fee for regular in-store purchases. However, online grocery orders or pickup services may place a temporary authorization hold that drops off once the final total is calculated and settled.
