Whole Foods changed the recipe for berry Chantilly cake

The big picture: Whole Foods confirmed to USA Today that it changed the recipe and altered the slices that are sold individually.

• The viral TikTok video about the change says there's no fruit in the middle of slices any more.
• "I think all of America is disappointed and you should reverse your decision," Lisa of @mylegalera says on TikTok.
• A spokesperson for Whole Foods didn't respond to Axios' requests for additional comment Monday. (Update: Whole Foods tells Axios it is rolling back the changes.)

Between the lines: Berry Chantilly is Whole Foods' best-selling cake flavor west of the Mississippi River, according to the grocer.

Catch up quick: Baker Chaya Conrad created Whole Foods' Chantilly cake when she worked at the Uptown location.

• She also created Rouses' berry Gentilly cake.
• Conrad opened Bywater Bakery in 2017 and sells several versions of Chantilly cake.

Zoom in: She told Axios on Monday that she's still selling whole cakes and slices of Chantilly. The recipe is the same for both, she said.

• The slices are $6 and they are simply slices of the regular cake.
• Her thoughts about the recipe changes at Whole Foods? "Well, I still have berries in my slices."

Editor's note: Whole Foods told Axios after publication that the original slices will return to stores this week. Go deeper.
