Several consumers are suing Whole Foods, claiming traces of antibiotics were found in their beef products labeled antibiotic-free, according to a lawsuit filed in California this week.
Whole Foods uses the slogan, "Our Meat: No Antibiotics, Ever" in its marketing materials, such as on packaging, signs in the store and on its parent website, Amazon.
But one of the plaintiffs, Farm Forward, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending factory farming, said it did its own testing in 2021 and 2022 and found traces of monensin sodium, a growth antibiotic, in one sample of a Whole Foods beef product, and fenbendazole, an antiparasitic, in five Whole Foods beef products.

"Does Whole Foods' 'no antibiotics ever' slogan have antibiotic in it?
Whole Foods was sued this week over its "No Antibiotics, Ever" marketing slogan for its beef. Three consumers and animal welfare group Farm Forward filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Santa Ana. The lawsuit claims recent testing found the chain's beef does have antibiotics."
