Does Whole Foods Accept EBT Cards for Groceries?

Does Whole Foods Accept EBT Cards for Groceries? Yes, Whole Foods accepts EBT for in-store purchases at all of its locations.

However, not all Whole Foods locations accept WIC. EBT-eligible food items are the same regardless of where you shop, but Whole Foods will automatically separate non-eligible items for you at check-out.

 

EBT-eligible items at Whole Foods include all grocery food items that hold nutritious value, but this doesn’t include ready-made or prepared food. You cannot purchase anything other than grocery items from Whole Foods outlets using EBT.

 

You can use your EBT at Whole Foods grocery stores quickly with no hassle. Unlike many other authorized retailers, you don’t have to separate eligible food items from non-eligible ones at the Whole Foods outlet, as the machine will automatically separate them for you. After you swipe your EBT card, you can choose to pay for the eligible products with your SNAP benefits and for the non-eligible products with your cash account.

It’s important to note that you cannot use your SNAP EBT benefits to pay for Whole Foods delivery or online orders. However, you can use EBT at Whole Foods Market online for delivery or pickup orders.Currently, you can’t use your EBT card when purchasing items from the Whole Foods online store.

 

But some Whole Foods stores participate in the federal pilot EBT program, which is meant to add EBT as an online payment method in every state and allow SNAP beneficiaries to order groceries online.
