Reply to comment by ACMEPrinting in ELI5: What do food product labels that say “whole wheat” or “100% whole grain wheat” mean? Are these better for health? by acousticentropy

Your point is that the label isn't regulated in the way it should be, and that's true, but it's not true that the whole wheat label is just nothing.

Whole wheat products are qualitatively way different than other products, and OP just wants to know what that difference is.

This might help or add to the confusion but sheds some light into the FDA's thought process on the matter:
