10. Tortellini Pasta Salad
While TasteAtlas named Greek cuisine the third best in the world for 2023 and 2024, Whole Foods' take on Greek tortellini pasta salad is overly bland.
It incorporates fruits and vegetables, but the result is still a tasteless meal. Even the citrusy olive oil dressing and feta cheese that are included can't help the dish.
9. Macaroni And Cheese
The macaroni and cheese from Whole Foods features al dente noodles; however, some people might not prefer these firm noodles.
The dish is also smothered in a sharp cheddar cheese, which some might not like. Additionally, the macaroni and cheese has a high price point of $9.99 per pound.
8. Classic Rotisserie Chicken
The Whole Foods classic rotisserie chicken costs $8.99 for an almost two-pound product, which is an affordable and cost-effective meal.
Unfortunately, it's twice the price of Costco's rotisserie chicken and has a dry, chewy texture. You're better off using the meat for a dish rather than as a sole entrée.
7. Turkey Pesto Panini
Although the turkey pesto panini appears tasty, the sandwich is very thin. It has a modest pesto spread and a thin, single slice of oven-roasted turkey.
The mozzarella cheese takes up more room than its two fundamental ingredients, but even that doesn't fill the sandwich.
6. Salmon Avocado Roll
At the relatively high price of $10.99, Whole Foods' salmon avocado roll is easily accessible and surprisingly acceptable for supermarket sushi.
The avocado is extra creamy, but the problem with the eight-pack roll is the excessive use of rice, which ultimately detracts from the other sushi components.
