If you're looking for a Whole Foods AIP shopping list, this list will make your trip much easier! I am loving putting together these autoimmune protocol shopping lists because I keep discovering new AIP-friendly food products. It's awesome!! All the foods on the list are Paleo, and 99% of them are elimination phase AIP compliant. There are a few stage 1 reintros but I've noted them.
For other store-specific AIP shopping lists, you may also want to check out my Sprouts AIP Shopping List, Kroger AIP Shopping List, Walmart AIP Shopping List, Sam's Club Shopping List, Costco AIP Shopping List, Aldi AIP Shopping List, and Trader Joe's AIP Shopping List as well!
Whole Foods Market has an awesome website that shows all the products they carry. I've linked to a lot of the products on this list so you can see what they look like and check out ingredient labels.
Keep in mind that each store carries slightly different products depending on the location. So, you may not find everything on this list at your store.
If you're looking for a specific item, you can find your store on the Whole Foods website by inputting your zip code or city. Then, just search for the item you want and see if they carry it.
If you're not able to find certain items at your local store, consider checking out ShopAIP. They have tons of AIP-compliant items sorted by phases.

Quick note on juices- Try to use juice sparingly and opt for whole fruits when possible. Fruit juices are high in sugar so they should be limited and preferably consumed with food to lessen the impact on blood sugar. The recommended limit for fructose is 40 grams per day (although 20 grams is considered optimal) during the elimination phase. Read more on this here.
